Project Description:
This renovation of the Margaret Carpenter Recreation Center updated and improved the pool programming space and provided an accessible pipe galley for maintenance and repairs. The facility’s pools, sauna, steam room, family locker room and associated equipment were replaced with state-of-the-art aquatic environments and amenities to capture the needs of this vibrant community.
Improvements include a new six-lane lap pool with an integral aqua-exercise pool, a wave pool with a lazy river and bubble pit, an activity pool with zero-depth entry, a play structure, geysers and sprays, a towering waterslide, a 20-person therapeutic hydro-jet spa, new steam and sauna rooms, an expansive family changing area with private cabanas, aquatics offices and party rooms.
The universal locker room expansion better serves families and individuals with special needs, increasing accessibility for all. The recreation center was expanded by 12,000 square feet, and its multipurpose aquatic facility meets the community’s athletic, fitness and leisure programming needs.
