Run by the City of Salida Parks and Recreation Department, the Salida Hot Springs Aquatic Center is the largest indoor hot springs pool in the nation. It is a place for families, residents and visitors to gather to play and relax, soak and socialize.
The facility features both public and private pools. At 84°F (29°C), the six-lane Lap Pool is an ideal temperature for exercise. The Leisure Pool is warmer. A comfortable 98°F (37°C), it features a zero-depth entry that is perfect for young guests. Three private soaking pools are also available by reservation. These European-style baths allow soakers to enjoy the hot springs water at customized temperatures.
The geothermal water is sourced from multiple springs owned by the City of Salida in nearby Poncha Springs. Relying on gravity, it flows downhill through a pipe to the Aquatic Center pools.
