The Woodstock Recreation Center is preparing to launch a major facilities upgrade: the replacement of our aging small pool, which is now failing and at the end of its usable life. In its place, we plan to build a new, fully‑inclusive Splash Pad designed for children, families, community members and visitors of all ages and abilities. This modern water play space will offer safe, accessible fun, expand our summer programming options, and provide a welcoming environment for both residents and visitors.

 

The Splash Pad will become a centerpiece of our outdoor recreation area, offering interactive water features and a vibrant gathering space that supports healthy play and community connection. It will benefit local families, day camp participants, visitors to the area, early learners, grandparents, and anyone looking for a safe and joyful way to cool off in the summer months.
