Washington Park has long been a gathering place for community gatherings and events.
Built during the run up to the 1996 Olympics, the Washington Park Natatorium includes a heated competition pool, classrooms and meeting space.
The pool consists of 10 lanes, is 25 yards by 25 meters, and features a pool depth that goes from 6 feet 7 inches to 9 feet. There is a large bleacher section that overlooks the pool where community members can view our aquatics programs from spectator seating during swim meets and swim lessons. Additionally, there is a 25 yard length by 10 yard therapy pool with a depth of 3 feet 6 inches that is kept at a warmer temperature. This pool is used for water aerobics, swimming lessons for kids and adults, and physical rehabilitation.
The Natatorium also includes classrooms used for various training courses, party rentals, staff meetings, swim meet hospitality and dry land training. The Men’s and Women’s locker rooms in the Natatorium come equipped with lockers and showers, and are handicap accessible.
