City of Martinez opens new aquatic center Vision achieved within budget goals
The new center includes a play pool with a beach entry, spray play equipment and 1-3 ft depth teaching area. The lap pool has eight lanes for swim meets and lap swimming with the ability to create three 30-meter lanes for longer course swimming. The lap pool includes a diving well, ADA lift and easy access by stairs.
New facility a community success – 1000% increase in use. The new Rankin Park aquatic complex replaced three aging, inefficient pools. Arch Pac consolidated multiple uses into two pools, and used energy-efficient materials and equipment to keep operating and maintenance costs low. The result: a versatile, multi-use facility that operates with the same budget as the old complex – but with much higher community use. “Participation has increased 10 times over the old complex,” says Recreation Supervisor Patty Lorick. “The community is very proud of this facility. We’re getting an outstanding return on our investment.”
