Arlington Heights Park District to host open houses on Olympic Park plans
The Arlington Heights Park District will host three open houses next week for the public to view concept plans for a proposed $15 million expansion and renovation of the Olympic Indoor Swim Center.
The events, all at Olympic, 660 N. Ridge Ave., are scheduled for: 10 to 11:30 a.m. Sunday; 7:15 to 8:45 p.m. Tuesday; and 10 to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. Park district staff members and architects will be available to discuss the concepts being considered, and attendees will be able to provide input.
The project would include a high school-sized gymnasium, indoor walking track, warm water therapy pool, fitness and multipurpose spaces, and renovations to the current building. Costs would be funded with up to $4 million from reserves and through a bond issuance of no more than $12 million. The project could begin next spring and be complete by fall 2019 or early 2020.
