2024- Current Design

We've been working hard and are super excited to present the current Aquatics Facility design to Carbondale! This design represents the essentials of the master plan and a large amount of input from Town Staff, the Board of Trustees, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Tree Board, a citizens based Working Group, a Design Advisory Committee, and the Carbondale Public Arts Commission. After reviewing energy use and carbon impacts, the Town and Team have opted for an extended season (roughly May-September) rather than a facility that is open year-round. A pool open in January in Carbondale burns a LOT of energy and doesn’t reflect Carbondale’s community values of sustainability.

As of December 10th, the Board of Trustees approved all added alternatives including

• Hot tub
• Pool features like volleyball net, climbing wall, diving board, splash features
• Shade structure surrounding the outside of the building
• Shade structure over the wading area
• And more!!

With all of the funding already received, why are you still fundraising? How long will fundraising go?

We would love to be done fundraising today if we had enough pledges and donations to get to our goal of $2.5 million. Our fundraising efforts so far have brought in $1.46 million already. Fundraising will continue until we reach our goal or until June of 2026 when the campaign ends.

Reasons to donate include:

• A sustainable investment for the community for 40 - 50 years
• Affordable Learn-to-swim opportunities that are essentially in preventing drownings in a community with rivers and open ditches
• Outdoor community gathering place in the heart of downtown
• To help pay for essential elements like the shade structures, play features, and more!
• Employment opportunities in our beautiful downtown space
• $1,000+ donation to get your name on the recognition wall that will be at the entrance of the pool
• $10,000+ donation to join Let's Make a Wave Circle with larger recognition and an invitation to the exclusive grand opening
