The Lima Community Aquatic Park is now accepting registrations for its summer swimming lessons for children. Officials say the classes are designed to help participants build confidence and improve their swimming skills at a variety of experience levels.
The City of Lima is preparing for its Summer Parks Program, offering eight weeks of activities for children ages 6 to 12 at Faurot and Robb parks. Registration begins Saturday, with activities including bowling, skating and swim days at the new Lima aquatic park.
To celebrate 60 years of making an impact in the city, the Lima Community Foundation is investing in youth programs and inspiring the arts.
Construction for the Lima Community Aquatic Park is coming along, and the city is now working on the next step. 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.
