On a partially wooded and flood-prone site, a new outdoor community aquatic center serving the Dallas area adjoins the existing indoor Bachman Therapeutic Center. The main entry pavilion consists of an administration/concessions/party room wing across from the locker room/storage wing and connected filtration building, all under a continuous roof and steel trellis. The party room connects the aquatic center and the indoor pool of the therapeutic center. As part of the renovation, two large glazed sectional doors open the indoor pool up to the outdoor facility.
Swim and play features of the aquatic center include a 4-lane regulation lap pool, plunge pool, lazy river, zero-entry children’s pool, body flume slide complex, and water climbing wall. Shade structures, deck shower, observation lounge chairs, and ornamental metal fencing complete the comfortable entertainment experience.
