Lakewood will unveil another waterslide in 2027, but some families heading into Family Swim said they are sad to see the blue slide go. Others think getting a new, safer slide is for the better.

The city says construction of the new slide will be scheduled around programs and pool access. All other pool amenities and programs are open and operating as usual.
