What are we missing?

Programs and services neighbors suggested that weren't on the staff list. These are community ideas gathered for the project team to review.

• "water park" type features like slides or a lazy river (see silliman aquatic center and Palo alto JCC)
• Kayak paddle practice.
• Private lap swim lanes
• Safety leaning skills
• Sjsu as a template (open swim area, swim lanes, shallow section etc)
• Splash pad area for kids
• Underwater hockey
• Water polo!
• White water kayaking roll classes

What people are saying

Public comments shared by neighbors who submitted a design.

• “Make the pool tile instead of concrete. Keep the pool a consistent depth.”

• “Please have adequate adult swim time especially in late afternoon/evening. If possible, have good illumination so the pool can be used for a short time after sunset. Lastly please have an ADA-compliant pool lift chair for accessibility if a stair-entry is the final choice.”

• “As much open recreation swim time as possible! And a zero depth entry and a water slide! Check out Pecos Pool in Phoenix, AZ for a great example of an awesome space as well as programming and rec swim hours.”

• “Beside the facility, ease of signing up and schedule flexibility are also important factors for overall experience using the pool. The current signup process is such a hassle because you have to make a reservation online ahead of time. Camden pool allows people simply walk in any time during swim sessions and pay for a day pass.”
