This week, the Ponoka Aquaplex is undergoing regular maintenance and mechanical upgrades including the exciting addition of a new 10-foot slide in the deep tank.

The slide features one corkscrew turn with water flowing from the top into the deep tank. Both children and adults will be able to make use of the slide which will include stairs and a railing on both sides.

“Once the work is completed, we expect that these improvements will increase people’s enjoyment and add a new level of excitement for Aquaplex users. The slide will offer new entertainment and fun for families in our community,” said Sandra Lund, Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of Ponoka.

However, the Aquaplex will experience a couple of closures as a result of the maintenance:

Tuesday, January 11th

Lap swim and water fitness as regularly scheduled from 6AM to 10 AM.  Following that, the Aquaplex will be closed until the end of the day.

 

Wednesday, January 12th

All programming will continue as scheduled with the exception of the deep tank which will be temporarily installed for the day for the installation of the new slide.
