Prairie Lakes Aquatic Center

Connected to the existing Prairie Lakes Community Center, the Prairie Lakes Aquatic Center includes a 4,800-square-foot, eight-lane 25-yard pool for lap swimming, swim lessons, open swim and aqua-fitness classes. Its retractable bleachers, accommodating up to 150 people, provide spectator seating for the competitive youth swim program.

The facility also serves as the new year-round training and competition home of the park district’s Warriors championship swim team. During designated times and special events, water polo, basketball and Wibit water play equipment is offered for all to enjoy. The 2,000-square-foot warm-water wellness pool has three 60-foot lap lanes, 3.5- to 4-foot water depths and in-pool seating complete with hydrotherapy jets. It is a perfect fit for aqua-fitness, wellness and parent-infant swim programming. The facility also includes a 2,000-square-foot indoor splash pad for children ages 2 through 12, complete with a Life Floor rubberized cushion base.

Additional facility features include a multipurpose room for parties, meetings and park district programming, with an adjacent outdoor patio; men’s and women’s locker rooms; six family-friendly changing rooms; and offices for lifeguards and pool staff. Updates to the outdoor property include new courts for basketball and sand volleyball, and updates to the walking pathway.
