All are welcome to pay to use the Arne Hanna Aquatic Center facility for a variety of aquatic programs, but free showers are no longer available, effective July 29, 2023.
Community expectations
Our community expects that we provide safe, inclusive, comfortable ways for people to use the restroom and take a shower. The City has helped to provide these services, along with several non-profit partners, and we continue to collaborate with various community partners to answer the important and complex questions about how to best meet these needs.
