Work currently under way includes the splash pad and bath house.

The city has been working to raise $1 million of the estimated $6 million for the project from public donations through its “Something for Everyone campaign.”

Financing
$1 million – Capital Campaign
$1.5 million – Tax Increment Financing
$3 million – City Borrowing (tax payers)
$500,000 – Parks & Pools Capital Funds

City leaders say the new Aquatic Center will change the way the community thinks about their outdoor pool. It will be a gathering place for people from throughout the Kaukauna area and a source of summer memories that will last forever.

Improvements to the facility will include:

• Splash Pad
• Water Slide
• Shade Structures
• Climbing Wall
• And More.

Work began in August with a tentative date in May 2024 for the dedication and pool opening in June.
