You Make it Possible to Build Community
The existing Rice Lake community pool was built in 1978. The community pool has given the Rice Lake area an environment for swimming lessons, lifeguarding classes and advanced swimmer training. It was also home to many athletes and community club members who considered the pool a huge facet of their lives. Unfortunately, the existing pool needs extensive repairs, and can no longer serve the expanding needs of our community.
Help Us Rebuild the Rice Lake Pool Legacy
The Rice Lake Aquatics and Recreation Center (RLARC), a community non-profit organization, has joined forces with the Rice Lake Area School District to construct a new two pool aquatic facility. Additionally, the City of Rice Lake has committed two million dollars to renovate the existing pool into a gym and walking track. Combined this will result in the first ever community center in Rice Lake.
A Single Donation Produces Multiple Opportunities
Project costs and fundraising goals
Rice Lake Area School District has agreed to provide the land for the new facility and to lease the facility covering a large portion of the operating costs of the facility. The RLARC is seeking to raise 4.5 Million to make this project a reality and to meet community programing needs.
Modern Innovations and Design Ensure Aquatics Center Longevity
The Rice Lake Aquatics Center will incorporate modern, energy efficient design elements and a modern design to ensure the center will provide sustainable use for many years to come.
- More energy efficient pool operating system for less water, pool chemical and energy usage
- Energy efficient building that meets energy code requirements
- Sustainable design, including use of recyclable materials and locally sourced materials
- Inclusive design features for ADA accessibility to the building, pools and locker rooms
