Dubuque Parks and Recreation is developing a citywide Aquatics Feasibility Study to help shape the future of our pools, splashpads, aquatic centers, and water-based programs. Aquatics and Pool Facilities were identified as a high-priority capital need in the systemwide Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Master Plan. This study will guide decisions on how to invest in safe, accessible, and inclusive aquatics facilities that serve residents of all ages, abilities, and neighborhoods.

Are there any specific improvements you’d like to see at City pools or splash pads? Are there things you like about the existing pools and splash pads? Is there a park where you’d like to see a splash pad added? Where might the best location for a pool or splash pad be around the city? Please drop a pin and provide a comment!

Please share your big idea for Dubuque Aquatics here! Where is your favorite place to swim and why? What type of pool or facility would you visit most frequently? What should be the primary focus of Dubuque aquatics?
