Glenview, IL
Year in Showcase: 2007
Project Description
This significant renovation includes
three new facilities — a 6,000-
square-foot bathhouse/administration
building, a 1,400-square-foot concessions
building and a 2,000-square-foot
mechanical building — as well as
additional parking. Five new pools —
a 9,000-square-foot zero-depth-entry
activity pool, a 2,300-square-foot splash
pool, a 2,000-square-foot “kiddie”
pool, a 4,500-square-foot lap pool
and a 1,575-square-foot deep hopper
— can accommodate a total of 1,500
bathers. Additional amenities include
two drop slides, two body-flume slides,
a 3-meter diving board, a 1-meter diving
board and various water-play features
such as a computer-controlled water
cannon game.
New landscaped greenspaces, shade
structures and a rental lawn were
added, as well, while the introduction
of flora creates a noise buffer for the
benefit of nearby residents.
