Ephrata Community Pool
Description:
Ephrata plans to develop a 10,204 square foot zero-depth community pool and 25 yard long, six lane pool facility. The multi-use project will enhance a variety of safe summer recreation activities - swimming lessons, family picnic/play areas, and a food court. Features include a sand play area for young children; in-pool lily pads for children to walk across; a water play structure made of wheel and rope actuated valves that control water flow through various foundations, pipes, showers and waterfalls. Pool slides include a 200 ft. long fiberglass flume, 25 ft. high with steel support columns. The unique speed slide is a 190' fiberglass flume set on the hillside. Park features include a shade arbor, numerous trees, other picnic shelters, and barbecues. The project is situated between the Ephrata Sports Complex and Middle School. Summers bring numerous sports camps to each facility. The TBI baseball camp alone brings over 300 youth to Ephrata. In addition to filling the city's own summer recreation needs, the City's goal is to entice summer tourists to the facility. The City will receive economic benefit if a portion of the million motorists who travel through the community, the 25,000-a-weekend Gorge visitors, and the hundreds of sports camp participants stop in town. A community pool will enhance Ephrata's living standard and provide an attraction for new residents.
