Why consider building a water park instead of renovating the Hawthorne and Jackson community pools?
Maintenance costs for these two pools (which have aged beyond a pool’s typical life cycle) have become extreme. A water park has the ability to lower operational costs, generate more revenue, and accommodate more patrons with larger non-swimming areas. Also, residents identified in the Leisure Services Plan that a water park facility is its second most important project behind what is now U.S. Cellular Park.
