City
of Dallas to break ground on new Lake Highlands Family Aquatic Center
What Groundbreaking
for new Lake Highlands Family Aquatic Center
Dallas Park and
Recreation begins implementing the first phase of its 2015 Aquatics Master
Plan that addressed the city’s need for larger, diverse and modern aquatic
venues. The plan calls for the construction of new facilities branded as
regional, community and neighborhood. The Lake Highlands Community Family
Aquatics Center ground breaking is scheduled for summer 2018 with expected
public opening in summer of 2019.

Ceremony will take place on the south side of Church Road near the tennis
courts. The Parking lot for the
Recreation Center is located at 9940 White Rock Trail but when attending this

side of Church Road.
Larger than most cities' standard public
swimming pools, family aquatic centers feature more enhanced water features and
facility amenities to give users of all ages unique, waterpark experiences in
their communities. More municipalities are opting to build these kinds of
facilities to add diversity to existing aquatics activities, according to
industry trends published by the National Recreation and Park Association.
