Architecture for Metro District Recreation Facilities

Sundance Hills Metropolitan District upgraded the parks, clubhouse, tennis facilities, and pool area at Sundance Hills Swim and Tennis Club, aiming to extend the pool’s life by 10 to 25 years. The entry was redesigned for efficient visitor service, and the three pools were resurfaced with new plaster and waterline tile. Skimmers and starting blocks were replaced, and a stair entry was added to the dive pool.

Pool Renovation Elements

A new wading pool with ADA access, a play structure, and water jets were constructed. The aquatic features include a new 750-square-foot wading pool with zero-depth entry and a stair entry. The 1,350-square-foot-dive pool has six 250-yard lanes and a stair entry. The 1,350-square-foot dive pool features renovated 1- and 3-meter boards. Renovations also include new mechanical equipment, ADA lifts, and safety systems.

Updated Pool Functionality and Aesthetics

Despite budget constraints, the team delivered a high-quality renovation by incorporating features such as “add alternatives” and streamlining submittals. These upgrades enhance the facility’s functionality and aesthetic appeal, reflecting the district’s commitment to providing an exceptional recreational environment.
