We’re excited to share some big news — the Jasper Municipal Pool is featured in Athletic Business Magazine’s 2026 Aquatic Design Portfolio, and it even landed a spot on the magazine’s cover!
The Aquatic Design Portfolio is part of Athletic Business Magazine’s January/February issue and highlights innovative aquatic facilities from across the country, along with the teams who helped bring them to life. Being included is a meaningful nod to the Jasper project’s thoughtful planning, standout guest experience and the positive impact it’s already having on the community.
Originally built in the 1950s, Jasper’s pool had fallen into disrepair, which led the city to invest in a brand new outdoor aquatic center. Now open and quickly becoming a local favorite, the facility offers something for everyone — like a zero-entry pool, splash area, lap pool, slides and a current loop — plus a spacious pool deck and convenient features like a bathhouse and concessions.
At Hafer, we love partnering with communities to create aquatic spaces that are fun, welcoming and built to last. From planning the right mix of amenities to designing smooth guest flow and functional support spaces, our team brings deep aquatic design expertise to every project — helping pools become true summer destinations.
We’re proud to see the Jasper Municipal Pool recognized on a national stage and even more excited to watch it continue to make a splash in the community. A big thanks to the City of Jasper and our partners who helped make this project a success — we’re honored to have been a part of it!
