Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center Opens With 50-Meter Pool
The 4706 Overland Dr facility rivals any in the region with a 50-meter main pool, diving well, lap lanes, and a family pool with a spiral slide. City and school leaders chose a large combined pool in 1998 to serve both competitive and recreational swimmers, funded by a local 1-cent sales tax, and designed for future demand and accessibility with ample public hours and affordable prices.
