Peters To Hold Public Open House For Proposed Aquatic Center

PETERS TOWNSHIP, PA— Township residents are invited to attend open houses scheduled this week for the proposed aquatic center in Rolling Hills Park.

The sessions will be held Sept. 1 from 1 p.m.-4 p.m. and 6 p.m.-8 p.m. and Sept. 2 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and 6 p.m.-8 p.m. in the township municipal building council chambers.

The aquatic center design incorporates features for all age groups.

• For the youngest visitors and their parents there will be a children’s pool with interactive spray features. A separate splash pad with an elaborate water play structure will provide a wide range of sensory experiences that encourage motor skills development as well as cross generational and collaborative play.

• The main pool body will include slides, diving boards, climbing wall, a rope swing and a lap pool.

• Visitors looking for a more relaxing experience can enjoy the lazy river or lounging on the extensive pool deck.

The township also is conducting a survey on various aspects of the project.

Council rejected bids for the center in May, when the low bid for construction came in at $11.4 million.
