The Marion County Parks and Recreation Commission Wave Pool was the first wave pool in the state built in 1977.  MCPARC has completed major improvements and renovations to the wave pool facilities. Omni and Associates was hired through the 5G process for architectural services and City Construction Co. out of Clarksburg was awarded the bid to begin construction last Fall. The new facilities include updated concessions and bathrooms, a large roof canopy for shade and weather protection, a new family restroom, new concrete pool deck, pool cabanas and a party room.
​
Total cost for phase one renovations was $1.6 million with the main source of funding being the excess parks levy that is voted on by Marion County citizens every four years.  The renovations are the first phase of development, possible future phases include additional cabanas, shade structures and a Flow Rider continuous wave machine.
