YMCA breaks ground for $1.8 million aquatic centre
YMCA has broken ground for a new $1.8 million aquatic centre at Jorgensen YMCA in Fort Wayne, US.
The aquatic center will be named as the Parkview Physicians Group Outdoor Aquatics Center. Post completion, it will feature six 25-foot lap lanes, beach entry with a splash zone play area, toddler pool with a Cascades Discovery Fountain, zip line, snack shop and easy access from both inside and outside the Y facility.
Said to be the only facility of its kind at the various branches of the YMCA of Greater Fort Wayne, the aquatic centre will also include a playground, picnic area, water slide, and climbing wall in the future construction plan.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the aquatic centre was held on 9 October 2012. The centre is scheduled to open in the summer of 2013.
