TIME FOR AN UPGRADE
The Chehalem Aquatic and Fitness Center opened in 1970 and immediately became a point of pride within the community. Over the years, the community began to outgrow the original facility as recreational needs increased and evolved. In 2015, planning began for a new aquatic center that would meet the needs of the Newberg community for the next 50 years.
VARIED USE
The pool was designed to have something for everyone in the community, from child to adult and youth club athletes to NCAA-caliber competitors. As such, the pool was designed and constructed to have three separate but connected recreational zones. A wading zone includes an 18-inch-deep area with dumping buckets, a climbable fire engine with water cannons and a slide, and a squirting fire hydrant. A stretch 25-meter pool was designed for NCAA and NFHS water polo and competitive swim events. A bulkhead helps create numerous pool layout options for the facility's varied use by community members.
