A Modern Aquatic Center for All Ages in Bethlehem, PA

Wallover Architects is proud to lead the redevelopment of the Bethlehem Memorial Pool in Monocacy Park, transforming the 50-year-old facility into a modern aquatic destination designed to serve residents of all ages and abilities.

Working in collaboration with Urban Research and Development Corporation and Spillman Farmer Architects, our team created a comprehensive Master Plan that reimagines the aging complex as a multi-use community aquatic center combining competitive swim amenities with family-friendly leisure pools and play features.

Now in the bidding phase, the project represents the City of Bethlehem’s commitment to public recreation, fitness, and inclusive community design.
