Overview
Merriam aquatic center is close to home, fits your budget, and is healthy, family fun for all ages!
Small Children
Our zero depth (beach entry) pool is a special place for your little thrill seekers, with a small dolphin slide for toddlers, and an “old man and the sea” themed slide for older children (maximum height for riders is 41-inches). Pulsating water jets, two water riders, and a floating lobster add to the fun. A dolphin fountain spray in the center of the pool is sure to cool you off! A shade awning is provided over part of the pool to protect you from the sun’s harmful elements.
Older Children, Teenagers, Adults & the Young at Heart
We offer two exciting water slides. A 150-foot open flume slide and 135-foot enclosed tube slide will twist and turn you down an exciting ride, then splash you into the cool pool below. The pool is 4-feet deep and guarded by our experienced lifeguards.
Lap Swimmers & Divers
You will love our beautiful 50-meter pool, equipped with two 1-meter diving boards and one 3-meter diving board. A 25-meter lap lane is available during all operating hours.
Break Time
We provide two concession patios to seat you comfortably. Our concession stand offers a full variety of reasonably priced snacks from pizza to ice cream. There are four permanent shade structures to protect you from the sun.
