Refreshing the Aquatic Center

Refreshing the Aquatic Center
Posted on 09/26/2025

Thanks to a generous grant from the Centerville-Washington Foundation, a larger capacity pool lift was permanently installed in the main pool at the RecPlex. With this addition, one fixed and one portable lift will provide anyone with mobility limitations or in a wheelchair easy access to both pools from various locations.
The annual two-week summer shutdown of the RecPlex aquatic center left everything shiny and new after a deep clean and refurbishment. The pool was drained and power washed, along with the deck, bleachers, slides, steps, and lifeguard stands. Mechanicals were inspected and breakers and filters replaced. Painting was done as needed and the diving board refurbished. So was the big, green frog slide (pictured) that brings such joy to toddlers and parents alike.
