Chisholm Aquatics Center
Big-splash fun and relaxed lake-day vibes close to home
Chisholm Aquatics Center is the “big day at the pool” destination for Hurst. A spacious main pool, lazy river, multiple slides, and family play zones give tweens, teens, and adults room to spread out, play, and relax together. Wide decks, shaded seating, and clear sightlines make it easier for caregivers to supervise while still enjoying their own time at the pool. With flexible rentals and special events, Chisholm often serves as the backdrop for birthday parties, team outings, and multi-generational traditions.
Central Aquatics Center
Central Park’s summer hub for lessons, leisure, and memories
Central Aquatics Center is designed as a neighborhood-first home for little swimmers and structured programming. A zero-depth entry leisure pool, shallow zones, splash features, and children’s activity areas give young families a welcoming place to build comfort in the water. Lap lanes and an instruction-friendly layout make Central the home base for Learn-to-Swim programs and senior-friendly offerings like water walking. Its compact footprint, shaded seating, and park-adjacent setting make it easy to turn a quick swim into a relaxed afternoon.
One System, Shared Benefits
Season passes, safety standards, and staff training across both pools
No matter which pool you visit, you will find the same commitment to safety, access, and neighborly service. Season passes and daily admission options are structured to support frequent visits and keep water play accessible for all families. Lifeguards and instructors at both centers receive consistent training and participate in ongoing safety drills.
