Ad Astra Pool Reconstruction

SFS Architecture with a team of industry-leading design professionals is working with the City of Lenexa to reimagine the beloved but aged Ad Astra Pool. The design for the new pool is the result of an extensive community and neighborhood engagement effort that involved an advisory committee, online surveys, public open house events, and pop-up engagements at all of Lenexa's outdoor pools.

The final design reflects the community's priorities which made the Ad Astra Pool a favorite in the neighborhood. Open water with lap lanes, resort-inspired social pool amenities, expansive pool deck and lawn areas, ample shade, a current channel, and water depths range from a zero-depth entry to a deep water diving well make this neighborhood pool packed with features.

The bath house and staff support building include sustainable features such as solar photovoltaic panels for onsite power production and a mass timber roof system that highlights sustainable forestry and wood manufacturing. Both showcase a dynamic structure that enhances the guest experience recalling beach vibes and the namesake of Ad Astra Park: To the Stars!

Construction is expected to begin Spring 2025 and open in May 2026.
