Coming soon... Mason’s NEW Aquatic Center The Lou Eves Municipal Pool began operations in and at the time was considered a significant milestone project for the City. The desire to have an outdoor pool was discussed extensively in the early ’s and approved by the voters in as part of a ballot initiative. For seasons, the outdoor pool has been a popular destination for residents and beyond. Despite efforts throughout the years to prolong the life of the outdoor pool, the facility experienced ongoing issues including leaks and a deteriorating concrete shell. The cost associated with repair of these issues was significant and a er two years of research and consideration, City Council moved forward with a decision to build a new Aquatics Center to continue providing this type of premier amenity to the Mason community. The new Aquatics Center will feature a new outdoor leisure pool as well as an enclosed meter pool. The Municipal Pool Revitalization Project is underway and the City anticipates the new outdoor leisure pool to be open for the season! Features of the new outdoor leisure pool include zero depth entry, a double flume slide, lazy river, a splash pad, a tipping bucket, basketball hoops, additional shade structures, family changing rooms, concessions and more! We appreciate your patience during construction of the new Mason Municipal Aquatic Center. Currently, walking paths at Corwin M. Nixon Park and Pine Hill Lakes Park have been temporarily disrupted for construction of the Aquatic Center. Temporary mulch paths have been installed to reconnect the walking paths.

A MATTER OF METERS As part of City Council’s decision to build the Mason Municipal Aquatic Center, the City entered into a public-private-partnership with local fundraising organization, A Ma er of Meters. A Ma er of Meters has launched a fundraising campaign with ambitions to raise money that will be dedicated towards the construction of the enclosed meter pool. The City’s partnership with A Ma er of Meters is another example of Mason’s commitment to developing unique partnerships that enhance the quality of life for Mason residents. Similar to the Mason Community Center, the new Mason Municipal Aquatic Center reiterates Mason’s commitment to building a culture of wellness in the community by expanding recreation and programming opportunity for residents of all ages in the community.
