JOIN US and help us get this long-promised Aquatic Center properly designed, fully-funded, and built to serve the City of Albuquerque,  increase the quality of life for New Mexicans and provide Regional Impact!

OUR GROUP IS CURRENTLY HELPING TWO LINES OF EFFORT: 

Read COMMENTS we've received from leaders to citizens

STOP AQUATICS INEQUALITY IN NORTH ABQ!

Currently, the northern half of Albuquerque is severely lacking in indoor (year round) AND outdoor public aquatics facilities. Yet, swim is the #1 activity preferred by youth and the #5 activity preferred by adults.  It's time for Albuquerque to address this inequality and significant need, and fulfill it's long-standing promise to it's citizens (of all economic levels).

Our end goal is an aquatic center that serves the community's most pressing needs. Here's what that means & HOW we are working to do that.

Multimillion-dollar public projects often require funding from many sources. Here's HOW we are working to secure full funding. 

Public outreach to citizens and government decision makers is a KEY step in ensuring the aquatic center that gets funded and built will serve the community for decades to come. Here's HOW we are reaching out.  


Plans & documentation help guide large projects like this. You'll find the ones we currently have here. For the original 2005 Master Plan for North Domingo Baca Park, just click HERE.

Meetings, events, and deadlines. Oh my! Here you will find many of the key dates you need to know around our working group meetings, City Council meetings, dates for bond ballot voting, public meetings, etc.  We'll try to keep this updated.

Albuquerque is severely underserved when it comes to Aquatics Programs for recreation,  competitive swim, water safety, water sports & therapy. This is MOST true for the north part of the City. Here's how ABQ compares to other Cities. 

Here you will find local news reports on the long promised aquatic center, citizen frustrations, local swim news, and the history of swim in Albuquerque. 


Albuquerque has never before had an Aquatic Center like the one being proposed for North Domingo Baca park. Given the interest of many athletic groups nationwide to train in a beautiful location like Albuquerque, with the more strenuous, high-altitude conditions, a strong revenue opportunity exists through aquatics-centric tourism. 

We'll do our best to share Meeting Notes that any of us attend. If you attend a meeting and took notes, please forward them to us so that we can share them. 


PLANNED LOCATION AND EXISTING BUS SERVICE

 The planned location for the North Domingo Baca Aquatic Center is the empty dirt lot just to the west of the NDB Multigenerational Center & Gym (7521 Carmel Ave. NE - Corner of Wyoming Blvd NE & Carmel Ave NE).

The location is served by Wyoming bus route #31 (weekdays & weekends).
