Why

The City of Crawfordsville, Indiana Parks and Recreation operates Milligan Park Pool and Splash Pad. Based on the pool’s historical success, the city was interested in exploring aquatic enhancements and desired to develop a Pool Feasibility Study.

HOW

Zec Eight Insights partnered with HWC Engineering to develop a Pool Feasibility Study. Specifically, Zec Eight Insights focused on conducting a market analysis to ascertain local market conditions for various aquatic amenities and features, conducted an operations and programming review of existing pool data, and developed a five-year financial pro forma that includes staffing, utilities, maintenance, and operational functions required to deliver enhanced services.

What

The final operational pro forma was presented that provides management strategies for managing a pool with enhanced aquatic services such as a lazy river, concessions, waterslide towers, and increased maintenance considerations such as chemicals, lifeguards/staffing, and water use.
