 The grant will assist the park district in the construction
of a new Family Aquatic Center to replace the existing 47-year-old
pool. The swimming pool was closed after the 2011 season.The
grant award will fund approximately 14 percent of the planned
project costs, the rest of which will be funded through the park
district's capital improvement fund. Local funds are also being
solicited to help with the project.
The aquatic center will be located in the same footprint as the
old pool on the park district's 38-acre multiuse complex at 1400
Primm Road. The aquatic center will include three vessels of water:
a zero-depth entrance toddler pool with several water features; a
plunge pool for the water slides; and a six-lane, 25-yard lap pool.
A new mechanical building, shade structures and a green area are
also included.

The park district is excited about moving forward with the
project and adding the Family Aquatic Center to the
22,000-square-foot multi-sports and fitness center, six baseball and
softball fields, driving range, skatepark, playgrounds, and
administrative and activity center at the Primm Road location.
The aquatic facility is expected to open in the summer of 2014.
