New aquatic center at one of the oldest parks in the Westchester County Parks system.
OLA was the prime consultant managing the design team for the replacement of an aging 1.4 million gallon swimming pool at Willson’s Woods Park with four exciting water recreation areas: a wave pool, two eighteen foot-high water slides, an interactive water playground, and a spray deck. Extensive filtration systems were designed to comply with stringent Department of Health requirements, and new building structures were designed to house equipment in a style reminiscent of the existing English Tudor style bathhouse.
