Raise your hand if you grew up 'at the pool' in a rural community. "Recreational amenities such as this recent project in Stanley, ND, are critical pieces in sustaining our rural communities. It was a delight to work with a great team to bring it all together for the citizens of Stanley and the surrounding area." - Project Designer, Kimberly Keller, Assoc. AIA
Replacing the original pool, which was built over 60 years ago and named after the founder of Duraflex International Corp, the industry leader in aquatic Diving equipment, the new Ray Rude Outdoor Pool in Stanley ND is completed and ready to open to the public! Working alongside the Ackerman-Estvold team, who provided the design services for the new bathhouse and changeroom facility, Aqua Plans Aquatic Consultants Inc. is excited to have designed the new Pool and Splash Pad for this community. Built by ROERS and Associated Pool Builders, Inc, the new pool is fully accessible with a beach entry tots pool area, a gently sloping family area with teaching steps, a 4 lane x 82 foot lap area, a Vortex waterslide, 16 foot climbing wall, and of course, following up on the facilities heritage, a 14 foot Duraflex 1M Dive Stand. A fantastic new Splash Pad area is located directly next to the Pool, and includes 15 spray features (from Waterplay by MAKR Group) for all ages, and runs off of a fully recirculated water system. Complimenting the perimeter overflow system around the entire pool, the Pool and Splash Pad are filtered with Neptune Benson, Evoqua Defender filters, helping ensure the the highest quality of water possible for this new facility.
