Construction has begun on the new Ad Astra Pool for the City of Lenexa. Last month, City Council approved the final design and construction cost – a result of an extensive community and neighborhood engagement effort led by SFS Architecture in collaboration with Parks and Recreation staff. Ad Astra Park and Pool will be featuring the following amenities and improvements when it opens:
- New park restrooms, trail connections and a shelter replacement
- A zero-depth entry area with shade over the water
- 25-yard lap lanes for recreation lap swimming
- Deep-water area for diving
- 180-foot current channel
- Variety of shade structures throughout the deck and grass areas
- Bathhouse and concession building featuring a mass timber roof and solar renewable energy that will offset energy usage.
The new pool and park improvements are expected to be completed in May of 2026.
