Burns Road Community Center Aquatics
Palm Beach Gardens, FL
The Burns Road Community Recreation Center offers a full menu of leisure opportunities, including a playground, exercise equipment, picnic tables, splash pool and splash playground, and a major aquatics complex. But after more than two decades of use, the original swim facility is replaced with a newly designed and reconfigured swim setting shaped by modern thinking and technology, ingenuity, and efficient sustainability.
Water flows in a continuous stream from one part of the multi-phased pool to another. The shallow end of the guitar-shaped recreational and wellness area starts with a zero-depth, gently sloped “beach” entry instead of a typical staircase. This provides easy access for guests with disabilities as well as for children and the elderly. Gradually deepening to 12 feet, the recreational pool morphs into a 45-by-75-foot lap pool for competitive and individual practice. Water continues to course through into a 30-by-30-foot diving well and two uniquely shaped water slides. Decorative planters, a rock climbing wall, and canopied lounge seating add charm, comfort, and socializing opportunities to the poolside experience.
