Natatorium at Wilson Park

One of Fayetteville Arkansas’s most frequented parks, Wilson park rests just beyond the boundary of the University of Arkansas. Wilson Park’s West end bustles with playgrounds, hammocking spots and open greens. The East end is a slightly different story. The Wilson Park Pool, on the East end, is dated and although still frequented and loved by the community it requires intervention in order to more fully take advantage of its site.

This project is the proposed answer to all the problems plaguing Wilson Park’s current pool. This proposal transitions the pool from a summer time only affair to an enclosed, year round, natatorium. The creek which currently runs under Wilson Park Pool is also rejuvenated and accents one of the entry points to the new pool. Also included are more spaces for locker rooms, a bar area and a multiuse space for a variety of different events.
