Ada, Oklahoma

Year Completed

2017

The City of Ada was operating two pools which had served the community for over 50 years. However, due to deteriorating pool conditions and community members seeking aquatics options elsewhere, it was determined that new aquatic centers were needed. Luckily, residents passed a one-cent sales tax extension "A Penny for Our City" which helped fund this undertaking.

After the completion of Wintersmith Aquatic Center, construction began on another new pool across town. On Saturday, July 29, 2017, Ada's community celebrated the grand opening of Glenwood Aquatic Center. The community's second new aquatic center, while smaller than Wintersmith, boasts many modern amenities for varying ages and abilities along with modern bathhouse and concession options.

Key features include:
• Three small lap-lanes
• Zero depth entry pool with a shaded bench
• Small infinity-shaped lazy river
• Full-size open slide
• Family slide
• Spring diving board
• Play structure with spray features and a dumping bucket
• Ample shaded area surrounding the pool deck

Both new pools feature modern amenities and offer something for everyone. The aquatic features, materials, detailing, and color selection were chosen to blend modern play features with the preservation of historic parks.
