Although the Mayfield Heights Aquatic Center opened late last summer, and its new community center, located on the same grounds at 6080 Marsol Road, the city held an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday to officially open the $34-million complex.
Mayfield Heights held a Day of Celebration and Dedication of its new aquatic and community center Tuesday at 6080 Marsol Road. The event officially opened the $34-million complex that had been planned for 10 years.MAYFIELD HEIGHTS, Ohio -- “People have told me it reminds them of a resort,” said Mayfield Heights Recreation Director Sean Ward of the city’s new aquatic center while enjoying Tuesday’s , long-delayed official opening of the recreation area.
The pandemic also brought about increases to the project’s cost, from an initial projection of $16 million, to $34 million. The community center also includes a sparkling new gymnasium that includes three basketball courts, the capability of six pickleball courts, and two volleyball courts. The pools are dominated by the giant, 34-foot-high slide. From the slide’s tower, there are three ways to slide down.
There are two pools, one which incudes a high-dive and lanes for lap swimmers. The other is a shallow pool that includes an ever-moving current and vortex. “We were regulars until about the last five years,” she said. “It was boring. When my kids got older, there was no point in going there.”“It is like a resort here,” she said. “We went from having the worst pool in the school district, to having the best.”
“Despite facing challenges such as two income tax increase campaigns in 2018 and 2020, a pandemic, and labor and material shortages, the project is now completed and ready to be dedicated to the deserving residents of Mayfield Heights.
