Swimming Towards the Future 
A plan for Allentowns Pools & Spray Parks

The objectives of this study and process are to explore new options and future designs, provide long term care and maintenance of existing facilities, develop and implement a cost efficient operational plan, and ultimately create a new aquatic experience for people of all ages and abilities.

As of October 25, 2011 we have concluded gathering all the data we need to develop our proposal for city council.  So keep your eyes and ears open for the February 2012 meeting where you'll have the opportunity to hear the program ideas and facility changes.  Furthermore, you will have the chance to ask questions and share your thoughts.

We look forward to having your support and thank everyone who has taken the time to comment and participate in our surveys and open houses.
