Site work at this $6 million, five-acre Aquatics Park consisted of landscape and irrigation at each building and the parking lots, which included new sewer, water and storm sewer systems. The park features an eight-lane, 25-meter lap pool, and a large activity pool. The activity pool is equipped with a giant bucket that dumps 300 to 500 gallons of water every five to six minutes, and two large water slides. The larger of the two slides is a 180-foot long inner-tube slide that runs at 2,400 gallons of water per minute.
