A revolution is in store on Spacerowa Street. We will say goodbye to the swimming pools at the Water and Sports Centre, which Bolesławiec residents have known since the 1970s. The pool area will be demolished. A modern water park with a car park will be built in its place.
The city will invest almost PLN 30 million in constructing the new facility.
“There were many meetings and ideas, and we looked at many proven examples from other places. Based on this, we created a concept for developing the MOSiR facility,” says Robert Rzepnicki, head of the Public Procurement and Municipal Investments Department. “As part of the first stage, we planned a relaxation zone for adults, equipped with a small salt graduation tower. There will be massage facilities in one of its corners, as well as loungers, so people can relax there. There will be a saltwater pool, and next to it a zone for children aged 4 to 7. A small playground will allow parents to stay close to their children and supervise them while relaxing,” adds Robert Rzepnicki.
In addition to the zone for children aged 4–7, there will also be a zone for very young children aged 1 to 4, with a small pool ranging from 15 cm to 38 cm deep.
Another zone, for children aged 8 and older, will contain the largest pool basin, with a water playground. It will include a Wet Bubble: a balloon in the water that can be jumped on (a Wet Bubble is a soft, inflatable vinyl dome installed in a 90-cm-deep pool, with a stainless-steel column that serves both as a supporting structure and as a fountain from which water flows down, watering the Wet Bubble).
The largest zone will also have fountains, geysers and other attractions, including the biggest of them all: three slides of different sizes and inclines, including an “onion” slide.
There will also be designated beaches and three courts nearby: two for beach sports and one multifunctional court.
A car park with 270 spaces will be built by the pools. There will also be changing rooms, ticket offices, a technology building, a restaurant for 100 customers, and a small playground for children in the green area.
“It is important to mention the pool technology,” says Robert Rzepnicki. “For water purification, a glass-bead-based technology is planned, which is still uncommon in Poland. Glass beads filter water 30% better than gravel filters, which we have at many facilities. The glass beads are negatively charged and capture impurities found in the water,” adds Rzepnicki.
For now, it is not known when we will be able to enjoy all these attractions. The process of finding a contractor for the investment is under way.
