The Evansville Aquatic Center replaces the aging facility at Leonard-Leota Park, having been relocated to a 24-acre site now known as Larson Acres Park. The vibrant aquatic center has quickly become a cherished Evansville centerpiece. One multipurpose body of water provides aquatic recreation, play, competition and leisure. The zero-depth entry splash and play area invites and promotes play for children, as well as parents or guardians. Deeper water connects to the circular activity pool — centered and featuring basketball hoops, the open water provides opportunities for hours of recreational play. The current channel offers aerobic programming opportunities such as resistance walking and provides a space for guests looking to relax as they leisurely float. The 6-lane, 25-yard competition pool is ideal for lap swimming, swim practice and meets. In addition to diving blocks, an aquatic climbing wall is also located in this space. Completing the aquatics offerings is a waterslide tower featuring two body slides terminating into runouts.
