From the very beginning, the focus was on creating something that felt fun, safe, and welcoming — and that would stand the test of time.

Every square foot of the site was used to pack in as much activity and possibility as the budget would allow.

The main pool holds up to 750 people and includes space for competition swimming and diving, along with a zero-entry area that makes it easy for all visitors to get in and enjoy.

There’s a splash pad and play structure for younger kids, a double water slide and climbing walls for thrill-seekers, and even a ninja course. A lazy river winds through the site, with shaded cabanas and sun sails offering a place to relax.

But the pool is just the start — new pickleball courts, a community room and outdoor pavilion for events, a new playground, and a concessions stand all help turn the facility into a gathering place for the whole community.

Durability and ease of maintenance were top of mind throughout the design, but above all, the goal was simple: give the people of Wells County a place they’re proud to call their own.
