PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Augmenting the award-winning Monon Center in the Carmel Clay Park and Recreation’s 160-acre Central Park, is the 3.5-acre, 2,098-capacity Monon outdoor aquatic center.  Designed to provide multi-generational outdoor aquatic programming, the aquatic complex features a zero-edge depth activity pool; a four-lane, non-competition lap pool; a lazy river, a “kiddie” pool and children’s sprayground; two large water slides; a deep pool with a one-meter diving board and drop slide; and a bathhouse and a concession area, to which visitors are welcomed by a dynamic tensile fabric structure that is sculptural in nature, establishing a visual and salient identity for the outdoor complex, and providing a textile counterpoint to the brick, stone, steel and glass of the community center’s exterior.
