Park Department breaks ground on new aquatic center

Dallas Park and Recreation department is starting the first phase of its aquatics master plan with the Crawford Family Aquatic Center.

The groundbreaking will be at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 5 at Crawford Memorial Park Ceremonial.

“These family centers are long-awaited additions to the city’s aquatics program,” said Willis C. Winters, Dallas Park and Recreation director. “We are focused on offering residents and visitors unique water experiences in a modern facility that will exceed their recreational and leisure expectations.”

As part of the 2015 aquatic master plan, the Crawford park facility signals a new focus from the park department. These family aquatic centers will have a more resort atmosphere, complete with a multilevel children’s splash pool, an eight-lane lap pool, and slides containing a plunge pool.
