Updates on the development, planning, design, and construction of the aquatic center at North Domingo Baca Park.
A master plan for North Domingo Baca Park was created and released in February of 2005. This plan included a phased approach to developing the 57-acre park. Nearly every portion of this master plan has been completed – except for the aquatic center.
In August of 2021, the City announced it is moving forward to identify funds to make the aquatic center a reality. Throughout the planning process, many opportunities for public input and discussion were facilitated.
In addition, construction of a new splash pad near the park’s playground, is complete and opened to the public on Labor Day weekend in 2023. Improvements to the existing dog park and east parking lot were completed before the end of the 2021. Two vault toilets, and improved bocce courts were also added to the park in the beginning of 2021. The construction documents are now complete and the project will go out to bid in early 2024.
