Imagining a New Era for Parkcrest

PARKCREST CAPITAL CAMPAIGN

Though our dedicated and resourceful staff has kept the facility open and operational, behind the scenes our aging pool faces frequent leaks and mechanical challenges. With membership growing and peak hours busier than ever, a renovation safeguards Parkcrest from a catastrophic facility failure while better serving all members.

Thanks to a very generous matching gift opportunity of up to $1 million, Parkcrest is well on its way to its next era — one that enhances the experience for every member and strengthens our community for years to come. We need your support to make it a reality though. Please join us!

Goals & Objectives

Thanks to Findorff and other corporate and individual sponsors, a draft design includes solutions for key challenges identified by staff and members last year.

  • New, Expanded Pool

    Existing lap pool replaced and expanded to 8 lanes to better accommodate lessons, more lap swimmers, and swim team. Pool entry more accessible for all ages and abilities.

    All new pool mechanicals to ensure safe, cost-effective operation - now, and for decades to come.

  • New Poolhouse

    A new facility features shaded seating, and much-needed storage.

  • Family-Friendly and ADA-Compliant Amenities

    Existing facility rebuilt with up-to-date changing areas, showers and restrooms.

  • Accessible Concessions

    Ground-level concessions are accessible and easier to staff. Patrons can choose multiple areas to sit.

Why Now?

Simply, we can’t afford to wait. A vibrant Parkcrest benefits us all, and if we want it to stay a neighborhood gem where our kids, grandkids, and prospective neighbors can participate and find value, we need to act. Key elements that make this project possible, including planning resources and a seed donation, are only available to us now.

If by April 1 we’ve raised enough money to start construction this fall, we’re guaranteed invaluable support and a completed pool by Opening Day 2026.
