The Olympic Pool/Aquatic Center — which the City will build on 6 acres at North Domingo Baca Park— is FINALLY being designed NOW.
Councilman-Hunsaker — the pool firm which designed ABQ Academy’s Pool (photo below) — is sub-consulting with Huitt-Zollars, as well as the Planning/Parks/Swim depts. for a design of ABQ North’s new public pool.
The Citizen Design Group has initially formulated 4 options we believe the city should be considering:
OPTION 1 - THE BIG KAHUNA
An indoor natatorium with 8-lane 75 meter x 25yd pool (34-lanes) with dedicated deep end diving well via bulkhead + indoor diving platforms (leaving full-size 50 meter pool) + indoor separate therapy pool + indoor splash pad w/slides
OPTION 2 - THE KRAKEN
An indoor natatorium with 8-lane 50 meter x 25 yd pool (23 lanes) with deep end doubling as diving well + outdoor 4 lane 25 yd therapy pool + outdoor splash pad w/slides
OPTION 3 - LEVIATHAN
An indoor natatorium with 8-lane 50 meter x 25 yd (23 lanes) pool + separate indoor structure with 4-lane 25 yd therapy pool + indoor diving well + outdoor splash pad
OPTION 4 - LOCHNESS
An full-size outdoor 8-lane 50 meter x 25 yd (23 lanes) pool with a covered (not sealed) structure + indoor 4-lane 25 yd therapy pool + indoor diving well + indoor splash pad
