The City of Monett was operating an outdoor pool alongside the Ozarks Regional YMCA since 2004. The existing outdoor pool was built in 1964, with a renovation in 1998, and was in poor condition. Knowing this, a pool planning committee was established, and Waters Edge Aquatic Design prepared a current and relevant pool study.

Waters Edge conducted an evaluation prior to planning and design. Creating a summary of their findings as well as multiple options for the city ranging from a basic renovation, to enhanced renovations, and finally an entirely new facility. Working with Monett city staff as well as outreach through community newsletters, social media campaigns, and surveys helped gather feedback to work towards an ideal design. A proposed location attached to the existing Monett Area YMCA was chosen, and Waters Edge began working through the conceptual and design phases. 3D Renderings were created to help the city promote the new aquatic center, including a large billboard sign of the new park.

The Monett Aquatic Center features two new pools with 6,888 square feet of water surface area: a competition 25-meter lap pool with multiple deep and shallow water slides, and a shallow recreational pool. The shallow pool includes an ADA entry ramp as well as a shaded water bench, a tall water tower feature, and a family slide.
