LIMA, OH (WLIO) - Construction for the Lima Community Aquatic Park is coming along, and the city is now working on the next step.
As of December 2, 2024, the city has raised 78% of that 5 million dollar goal.
Monday afternoon, the Lima Community Foundation, along with the City of Lima, launched the "Make a Splash! The Campaign for the Lima Community Aquatic Park." Through this campaign, the city has set a goal to raise 5 million dollars in endowment funds over the next 3 years. As of December 2, 2024, the city has raised 78% of that 5 million dollar goal. The raised endowment funds will be used to support long-term operating expenses and park maintenance while ensuring the park remains affordable and accessible for all in the community to use.
"We want this pool and the whole park to be set up for generations. This is for the whole community. It doesn't matter what part of town you live in or if you even live outside of the city; it's for our region," stated Robin Frazier, Lima Community Foundation.
The 11.6 million dollar aquatic park is scheduled to open in May of 2025.
