A popular Canton aquatics center will close for five weeks beginning Monday for a $700,000 renovation.

Though pools, aquatic center locker rooms, the sauna and the steam room will be closed until their expected reopening Oct. 11, other areas of the Canton Summit on the Park recreation center will remain open, Hometownlife.com reports.

“I would say it’s going to be a lot better experience for the customers,”Greg Hohenberger, Canton Leisure Services operations manager, told the newspaper. “The facility will have a new, fresh feel to it.”

Several improvements are planned, including one guests have been clamoring for: private shower stalls. Other improvements include resurfacing of a children’s water slide, painting, and replacing large sand-filters with smaller, more efficient filters.

The makeover is the second-largest since the complex opened in 1996. A building expansion was completed in 2002.

Memberships will be extended for five weeks, Hohenberger said.
