Valley View Aquatic Center / Holiday Park Pool

Valley View Aquatic Center:   

The largest of two facilities constructed for the City of West Des Moines includes over 24,000 square feet of water on an 18-acre site.  Three separate bodies of water include a large play pool for younger children, a 25 yd x 25 M competition pool with a 1 M spring board and two drop slides, and a 600’ lazy river with integral plunge pool and 4 large water slides for all ages!  The Bathhouse includes translucent panels, Douglas Fir wood decking, and translucent roof panels integrated over the pool entry.  The facility serves as a centerpiece for development in West Des Moines. 

​

The Holiday Park Aquatic Center: 

The second smaller aquatic center provides additional recreational water (10,510 sf) to compliment the Valley View facility, but with its own unique design.  The unique design capitalizes on a railroad theme and contains a large swirl bowl slide, an open flume slide, deep well pool with a 1 M board and drop slide, 4 lap lanes, play structures and a bathhouse similar in appearance to a train depot.
