HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The City of Hutchinson and Hutch Rec recently kicked off their aquatics master plan. The master plan will analyze the condition and usage of the current aquatics system.
Officials are asking for your input. A survey has been set up on the Hutch Rec website through Go Monkey. The survey takes about five minutes to complete and will be used to get a pulse on what the community feels is needed and wanted when it comes to the city’s swimming facilities.
The survey includes the Salt City Splash, Buhler city pool, the three Hutchinson splash pads and the indoor pool at the YMCA.
Additionally, the master plan will explore potential modifications, upgrades and additions to the aquatic facilities and system.
The biggest item in the feasibility study will center around the Salt City Splash. The life span of those types of facilities is in the 25 to 30 year range.
When the announcement of the study was announced last year, Hutch Rec Director Tony Finlay said he wanted a lot of public input throughout the summer in regard to aquatics and the use of the pool. He said nothing about the future of the pool had been set in stone.
