Hood River Valley Parks and Recreation District Director Mark Hickox outlined for City Councilors the district’s three options for replacing the Hood River Aquatic Center and developing an overall master plan.  Hickox says they are putting together a master plan in conjunction with the City, County, and Port of Hood River along with the Hood River County School District.  Hickox says in an ideal world, the master plan would have come before the pool effort, but the condition of the rapidly aging aquatic center forced the issue.  Pool replacement options range from estimated construction costs of 13-point-five to 20-point-three million dollars.  Engineers estimate there are about three to five years of left before the cost of maintenance outweighs the cost to replace.
