Plain Township

Plain Township operated the Pool from 1982 until 2000 when the Trustees passed a resolution to discontinue operations of the outdated pool facilities, ending 34 years of recreational swimming for local residents. Through a recent land trade with the New Albany Company in which they traded 7.5 acres for the old pool site and a donation of $700,000,... we are able to continue Mr. Master's vision of providing a new state-of-the-art recreational aquatic center featuring 3 pools to the families of New Albany. The groundbreaking for the Plain Township Aquatic Center on May 29, 2002, opens a new beginning with a state of the art aquatic facility being constructed to meet the needs of our fast-growing community. For several years, Plain Township has been in the planning stages for a new swimming facility for New Albany to replace the old and outdated pool facility on Reynoldsburg-New Albany Road. Through a trade of our old property in exchange for donated land by the New Albany Company, LLC, the Township has closed on a deal that has given us 7.5 acres on which to plan a new swimming facility. This parcel is part of a 45-acre parcel, which will include a new school and a recreation complex. The pool site is located just off Fodor Road between the High School and Tim Horton's/Wendy's at 7650 Swickard Woods Boulevard. The planning began with a comprehensive feasibility study and a resident survey conducted to clarify the goals.Read More
