Community Center/Ice Arena Update

Phase 5 of the Community Center renovations is still on schedule to be completed at the end of June. All of the walls are roughed in and drywall is being hung. Most of the mechanical and electrical has been installed. The deep end of the lap pool has been dug and formed. The concrete base is complete and the crews are waiting for it to cure before moving to the shallower end of the lap pool and the leisure pool. Staff is working with a muralist on ideas for the large walls of the aquatic center. Staff has also finalized the indoor playground. The playground will be installed once the upper level of phase 5 is complete and the new fitness space can be utilized. Staff is also finalizing the furniture and color selections for the teen center.
