This article has been updated to clarify the renovation will only affect the water park area, not the education or competition pools.

Conroe Aquatic Center at 1205 Candy Cane Lane will close its water park area Aug. 18, after the summer season, for renovations beginning Aug. 19 by GTT Construction. All other operations will continue in the education and competition pools, according to Rob Hamilton, Conroe manager of Recreation Operations. After twenty years of service, the existing water park will be removed and replaced with a water park designed to enhance our citizens water park experience, he said. The new renovated area is slated to open in May 2020. 936-522-3930. www.cityofconroe.org
