Warnersville Recreation Center

AQUATICS The existing pool is in poor condition and does not include many play features. The outline of the pool is of the right depth and size to be used for the base of the new lap pool area. The new pool is proposed to have a perimeter gutter system allowing the water depth to be increased without increasing the depth of the hole currently in place. The new pool is proposed to have a 6-lane lap pool section that can be used for diving, ninjacross, and basketball, semi-divided from the beach entry with two zones. One zone for 3 years and younger and a second zone for older kids with different age-appropriate play features. The Warnersville proposed pool is assumed to partially utilize the existing pool shell in a renovation/expansion. Site constraints limit additional aquatics offerings. ARCHITECTURE/FACILITIES The existing restroom/shower facility is proposed to be renovated or replaced. The structure of the existing facility appears to be in good condition with the exception of some potential settling in one corner. The interior of the facility needs renovation to provide ADA fixtures and accessibility. Men’s showers are recommended to be converted to individual compartments. The building may also be replaced to tie into the adjacent existing recreation building. One new open shelter is proposed at the play area. SITE On the site, it is recommended to provide an ADA connection from the bus stop along Doak Street up to the entry plaza for the aquatics center and existing recreation center. A basketball court and sports lawn are proposed along Doak Street as well. It is proposed to expand the existing parking lot and allow for pedestrian connections to the elementary school and out to Ashe Street. In the Southeast corner of the site is a new play lawn and play area with pedestrian access.

PHASING Warnersville Recreation Center has the option to be broken into 5 phases. Phase 1 is recommended to be completed first with the remaining phases able to be completed in any order. › Phase 1: New/Renovated Pool and New/ Renovated Bathhouse - Mid-term › Phase 2: Run Out Slide - Mid-term › Phase 3: Entry Plaza - Mid-term › Phase 4: Play Lawn and Structure - Long-term › Phase 5: Sports Lawn and Basketball Courts - Long-term Note: There is an opportunity to partner with Jones Elementary School for teaching and program opportunities through aquatics. Coordination with the school for proposed amenities is recommended prior to implementation.
