OV Aquatic Center to temporarily close for improvements Dec./Jan. The Oro Valley Aquatic Center will be closed December 5, 2022, through the end of January 2023, for improvements to the pump room circulation and filtration. While the facility is closed, staff will also take the opportunity to perform general maintenance, deep cleaning, and upgrade select competition equipment. We understand there’s never a “good” time to close a facility; however, these dates were identified as the slowest part of the aquatic season and will impact the fewest users. Thank you for your patience while we work to maintain and improve the user experience at our facilities. For more information, call 520-297-7946 or visit orovalleyaz.gov and search for AQUATIC CENTER IMPROVEMENTS.
