Cimarron Family Aquatic Center Now Open

The $3.6 million Cimarron Park Family Aquatic Center, located at 201 Red River Trail, opened Memorial Day weekend. A dedication ceremony was held May 24.

Funded by a bond program in 1999, the Cimarron Park Family Aquatic Center represents the first outdoor seasonal pool built in Irving since 1979 and is the first outdoor public pool north of State Highway 114.

“The opening of the Cimarron Family Aquatic Center will feature a variety of new amenities and will establish a new standard for city aquatic facilities,” said Chris Michalski, parks and recreation director.

The new state-of-the-art park features a 9,500-square-foot main pool and 1,000-square-foot children’s pool with spray features. The larger pool includes a water playground unit, spray grounds, teaching area, water volleyball, lap lanes, and two large water slides—one closed tube and one open tube. Both the children’s pool and the main pool are zero-depth entry, which will allow parents to play with their children in any depth of water and provide an additional measure of safety.

Other amenities include multiple shade structures, restroom buildings and concessions. For more information, call (972) 721-2501.
