The summer hours starting Monday through Labor Day will be Monday to Friday 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday hours will be 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and noon to 9 p.m. on Sunday.
One of the largest public projects in Mountain Home’s history, the $38 million complex marks a major expansion of the city’s recreational and community infrastructure, designed to serve everyone from young families to competitive athletes.
Comprising three interconnected buildings the center includes an outdoor recreation area with a pool, lazy river, water slides, and a splash pad.
The aquatic wing features a full indoor competition pool, a therapy pool for rehabilitation and wellness, and a shallow wading pool designed for families and swim instruction.
The second building houses a gymnasium capable of hosting large-scaled meetings, yet transition to host multiple basketball, volleyball and pickleball games along with an elevated indoor track for walkers and runners.
The third space has a cardio fitness area, free weights gym, a cafe, as well as 2 different concession stands.
