This new, state-of-the-art facility is the result of a collaborative effort between the City of Lake Oswego and the Lake Oswego School District. It was made possible by funding from the 2019 Parks Bond, a 2017 School District Bond, and additional funding from the City. Designed to support health, wellness, and lifelong recreation, the center will serve residents of all ages and abilities for years to come. It includes:
- 12-lane competitive pool
- 4,500 square-foot recreational pool with three additional lanes for lap swimming, spa, and a kid’s area that will include a waterslide and play structures

- Locker rooms
- Multi-purpose group fitness rooms to hold education and outreach programs, and host events

Community input over the last few years has been a benchmark for how the City is moving forward with this project enhancing residents’ and visitors’ livability and economic vitality for years to come.
