Phillips Aquatics Center serves as MPRB’s only indoor swimming facility: a “first” that follows the 2015 opening of the Webber Pool, the first natural-filtration pool in the U.S., located in North Minneapolis. The aquatics center offers swim lessons for people of all ages and abilities, along with other, year-round programs and opportunities for recreational, fitness and competitive swimming. It was constructed in 2017-2018 as an expansion and renovation of the Phillips Community Center.
Phillips Aquatics Center was originally known as Phillips Pool and Gym. When it opened in 1987, it included what was then the city’s only community-accessible indoor pool. The MPRB had acquired both the pool and gym facilities from the school board when the surrounding junior high school was demolished. The Boys and Girls Club leased and operated Phillips Pool and Gym for 20 years, but the pool was closed when the club returned the building to the MPRB in 2008.
After a $1.6 million renovation in 2009, the building reopened as the Phillips Community Center, with leasing opportunities for community organizations. Discussions about renovating the pool, which took place among officials from state, city and county governments, the school and park boards and neighborhood organizations, progressed to the planning phase in 2015. Funding to restore the existing pool and add a teaching pool came from numerous sources, including the MPRB, the State of Minnesota, Minneapolis Public Schools, and Hennepin County’s Youth Sports Grant program.
