Edina Aquatic Center
Ahoy! It's time for summer fun at the Edina Aquatic Center. Ride
a tube down a twisting water flume; glide over the water on a high-flying cable;
explore the inner workings of a magical tree house; and monkey around on the water
playground in the zero-depth children's pool. This pirate-themed aquatic center
offers something for water lovers and landlubbers of all ages.
Out at sea, swimmers beware of The Lost Wave! The newest
attraction at the Aquatic Center, this surf-simulator allows novices and
veterans alike to try their skills at catching a wave in a safe environment! A
skill to be mastered, this “wave in a box” gives swimmers a chance to body board
or surf standing up.
The Pirate's Plunge--a water slide tower--features a 207-foot body slide and
300-foot tube flume, with single, double and triple tubes available.
Daring young swimmers fly across the water on the Shipwreck Express--a thrilling
cable ride. Riders climb aboard a 10-foot platform, built to look like a ship's
bow, grab onto a trapeze bar, glide over the pool and splash into the water below.
The popular children's pool features spiral and tunnel slides, a tire swing,
sprays, fountains and other water-in-motion amenities. For easy entry, water
depth begins at zero and gradually increases to 18 inches.
Children can dry off and exercise their imaginations in Oakwood Forest, a tree
house-themed playground. The focal point of the dry play area is a large tree
with a climb-through center, look-out tower and slide exit. The playground
also features a life-size giraffe and hippo, monkey bars and a rope spider web.
The main attraction of the Edina Aquatic Center is an Olympic-sized pool with
a step-in entry, a three-meter diving board, a one-meter diving board and lap swimming
lanes. For swimmers' comfort, the water temperature in all pools is kept at
84-86 degrees Fahrenheit.
When it's time for a break, swimmers can relax in comfortable lounge chairs underneath
the large shade umbrellas or wooden trellis. A full-service concession area
also offers light meals and snacks.
Conveniently located in Rosland Park, the Edina Aquatic Center strives for continuous
improvement. Drop anchor at the Edina Aquatic Center and you'll find yourself
returning summer after summer.
