Proposed Initiative for New Alamogordo Natatorium on the Ballot

Alamogordo's aging population and families deserve year around access to water based activities for heath, fitness and balance.

An initiative is on thre ballot to build a new Natatorium (indoor enclosed pool) for all public use. 

The proposal is for an enclosed year around use pool near the existing facility. The city pool in use today is nearing the end of its life cycle and needs extensive maintenance and repairs to maintain it going forward.

The current pool was built in 1995 and is nearing the end of its lifespan and needs extensive repairs. Issues include cracked pool walls, corrosion, uneven water levels, and more

The city of Alamogordo is considering two proposed options for the new facility: a traditional brick-and-mortar building or a modern, energy-efficient Sprung structure. The new facility will also feature year-round indoor swimming, pool party spaces, and accessibility features. 

Alamogordo has an opportunity to upgrade recreational opportunities for families and seniors with a year around option using an already existing funding mechanism so no increase in taxes to fund the project as proposed..

The proposed new natatorium is designed to benefit all community members, from toddlers to senior citizens. School swim teams, recreational swimmers, and those seeking water-based exercise will all enjoy the new facility, which will be available year-round regardless of weather conditions and ability.

To learn more reach out to your elected city commissioners and be sure to vote yes on the November ballot. Early voting and absentee voting has begun. The citizens of Alamogordo deserve year around recreational pool access for families and seniors. Vote yes to approve this project to move it forward.
