City of Goshen, IN Shanklin Pool Study (2024)

Why

The City of Goshen, Indiana Parks and Recreation operates Shanklin Pool. The pool includes popular amenities and attractions such as water slides, diving boards, lap swims, open swims, swim lessons, pool parties, and has a concession stand onsite with a full menu. The pool is reaching the end of its lifecycle, and the city wants to develop a new site master plan for the aquatic facility.

HOW

Zec Eight Insights partnered with HWC Engineering to develop a site master plan. 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 the existing and potential site, and developed a five-year financial pro forma that includes staffing, utilities, maintenance, and operational functions required to deliver the final site master plan components.

What

The final operational pro forma was presented in four scenarios based on final client decisions and how the redevelopment of the Shanklin Pool is finalized. The final scenarios include different cost recovery and supply & maintenance cost forecasts which will ultimately be influenced by management decisions during and after final construction.
