Creating space to swim, splash and play.
The master plan for the Metro Parks Tacoma Kandle Park and Pool, developed by SHKS in collaborative public workshops and steering committee meetings, includes a recreational aquatic facility—leisure pool, lap lanes, lazy river, spray pool, slide—and a public park with skate features, basketball courts, a community garden, play structures, and a community room. The scope of work also included the remediation of contaminated soils and the addition of plantings to re-green the neglected open space. The project creates a community oriented park within a vital residential neighborhood and aquatic facilities for a broader public.
