Aquatic center in Ames,
- Thread starter dafarmer
- Start date
Just across from the DOT on Lincoln Way between Oak and Elm avenues.
No way to really get into the location from the north without going through the residential neighborhoods as there's only the one railroad crossing west of Grand Ave. So more congestion right on Lincoln way.

Ames got less than half of its requested $21.6 million. https://www.amestrib.com/story/news...-rebate-needed-fund-new-city-pool/5339455001/
Surprised that Ames doesn't have something like this already. A lot of smaller cities have one.
People in Ames dont like change.
Great. I didn't know the new pool would be ready in time for a transition from the old pool without a gap in time.
That would largely be ISU faculty and staff who live in Ames -who fill lots of seats on Ames' boards, commissions, and city council - who seem to want to keep it small...
they talked about building an aquatic center when I was in school (04-09). Did that ever get done?
Which elementary school was that? I don’t recall there being one at that location but maybe I’m wrong.
Did Ames ever get their issues worked out with their outdoor aquatics? I heard that they were having major leakage issues at their lazy river (I think) and they couldn't figure out where the leak was.
Yes, they were resolved.
Thinking the guy from FlexSeal was there cutting a promo. Worked out well for both sides.
