History of the original Aquatic Center

This was the final season for the Quincy Aquatic Center in the location it started in back in the Summer of 1957. The main Lap Pool was the only pool that our community had until 1999 when an RCO grant helped the community install the Zero-Depth pool along with the 2 waterslides.

In the Summer of 2026, we plan to open our new Aquatic Center, new and upgraded and relocated within East Park. We will have a small Lazy River, 3 new and taller waterslides, Zero-Depth entry with a large young kids play toy with smaller slides.

Weather & Closure Policy

We reserve the right to close due to inclement weather or insufficient attendance. Based on area conditions and weather advisory alerts, facility staff will determine whether safe operations can be met. If not, at the pool manager and staff's discretion, the pool may delay opening, close early, or not open at all. Any changes will be announced on our website, Facebook and posted at the facility. Refunds will not be provided for facility closures due to weather.

Smoke Conditions

When the air quality diminishes due to smoke, pool managers will monitor the EPA's AirNow.gov to determine when it is appropriate to close the facility for staff and patron safety. The facility will close when AirNow.gov reports air quality as “Unhealthy" or AQI reaches 151.

Lightning & Storm Safety

In case of lightning and summer storms, our facility refers to the National Lightning Safety website. "If you can hear it, clear it; if you can see it, flee it." Get away from water, Don't be a fool, get out of the pool!

Stay away from all wiring, plumbing, and electrical equipment.
Trees should not be used as shelter during an electrical storm.
When thunder roars, get indoors!
Lightning can strike up to 10 miles ahead of the storm.

If a lifeguard sees lightning strike while at the Aquatic Center, they will clear the pool and start a 30 minute timer. If they see another lighting strike, the timer will start over. Patrons will only be let back into the pool if 30 minutes pass without seeing any more lightning strikes.

frequently asked questions

Below are some questions we have been asked many times in the past, and some new questions we have heard concerning our new facility that will open in June of 2026.

Does the City of Quincy own and operate the new Aquatic Center?

YES. The city had funds set aside to build the new QPlex and when the new Quincy Valley Regional Parks District was formed and took on that challenge, the City used that money set aside to complete the design for the new facility and pay for the construction project.

I live outside the City of Quincy Limits, why do I need to pay a higher season pass rate?

There is a higher season pass rate for those living outside the City Limits of Quincy because each year when you pay your property taxes, those dollars go to Grant County for county-wide upgrades. The citizens of Quincy all have a city tax rate, and those are the dollars that helped build and pay for the new Aquatic Facility. It is similar to the different taxing districts on each years taxes: County, City, Hospital, School District, Cemetery District, Weed District, Fire District. Depending on where your property is within the county, there will be some of those different taxing districts that you may or may not have to pay into.

Do I have to pay for admission even if I don't plan on swimming?

YES. This is a facility entrance fee, not a swimming fee.

Can I just drop my child off and leave them at the park for the afternoon? (View a list of full rules here)

The short answer is...it depends:

Children 5 and under must have someone, 18 and older, in the water within arm's reach at all times. Maximum of 3 children under 6 YO per supervising adult.

Children under 12 must have someone 18 or older, in the facility with them the whole time,

Children who are 12 or older may be left for the day, as long as they are following the rules and obeying lifeguard instructions.

Patrons of any age who require additional supervision may be required by staff to have a parent/guardian/caregiver in the water with them or on deck helping supervise as well.

Do the new facility attractions have any height or weight restrictions? (View a list of the Special Attraction Rules here)

YES. There are height and weight requirements specified by the engineers who created these attractions to ensure the safety of all patrons. the height and weight requirements are as follows: Large Waterslides - 48" tall (minimum) and max weight of 250 lbs. Diving Board, Climbing Wall and Zip N - All of these are in the deep end of the lap pool. Users must have passed the Deep end Swimming test or show proficiency in deep water.

Can we bring in and use lifejackets during recreational swims?

No, we do not allow those during regular swims. Here is a link to our PFD & Floatation Use policy and our process for patron usage.

Why do you ask for my zip code even if I am paying with cash?

This information helps us create a report to show more accurate numbers of where our guests are coming from. This will help us in the future to build data to hopefully receive other grants in the future to add to our facility. No other information is asked for or kept, for this report.
