The Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center, located at 4706 Overland Drive, stands just north of Lawrence Free State High School. The aquatic center, which opened June 1, 2001, was built for $9.3 million.

The facility features a 10-lane, 50-meter competition pool with a diving well and underwater classroom, as well as a separate family pool with zero-depth entry, water slide, lap swimming area and a children’s interactive water play area.

Additionally, the building houses meeting rooms, shower and locker rooms and a concessions area. The facilities can be rented for parties and meetings.

The center is open year-round and is the permanent home of the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Aquatics Division. The 10-lane pool is used for competitive events.
