Friends of the Aquatic Center

The Dallas Aquatic Center has always been a gem in our community. We believe that everyone, regardless of age, ability, or background, should have the opportunity to enjoy all this facility has to offer. With this goal in mind, we have been working alongside the Aquatic Center management to identify areas that can be maintained, improved and expanded . Our focus is to support initiatives that enhance the overall experience for visitors, ensuring that it exceeds all expectations.

Friends of the Aquatic Center believe in the power of community and the importance of supporting our local facilities. We understand the budget challenges that come with maintaining a state-of-the-art aquatic center in a small town like Dallas, Oregon.
