INFORMAL STAFF REPORT
TO MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
SUBJECT:
Fiscal Year 2016 — 2017 Aquatic Center Annual Report
Report No. 2018-010
BACKGROUND:
As part of the agreement between the City of Denton and the Denton Independent School
District (DISD) regarding the operations of the Aquatic Center, an annual report is prepared by
Parks and Recreation staff at the end of each fiscal year outlining program and financial
information. Highlights in the report include the opening of the new wave pool, fee schedule
adjustments for Water Works Park (WWP) and the Natatorium (NAT), increased revenues at
WWP, a decrease in NAT revenue, and increased daily admissions at the NAT. Construction on
the new concession stand building was also completed in 2017 and will be open for the 2018
swim season.
An assessment of the Aquatic Center's operations is currently underway. Parks and Recreation
staff are working closely with DISD representatives and a team from PROS Consulting to
perform the assessment. It will include an analysis and inventory of the current aquatics facilities
operational and financial models and determine current and anticipated demand for aquatic
facilities and programming as well as current supply to meet demands. The assessment will also
provide "next" practices and implementation strategies to achieve strategic objectives. A final
report is expected by the end of March 2018. If you have any questions or require additional
information, please let me know.

DENTON AQUATIC CENTER
Denton Aquatic Center is comprised of
Denton Natatorium and Water Works Park
and is located at 2400 Long Rd. on the northwest
corner of Loop 288 and Sherman Drive.
Circa 2003, the center was built on a 17-acre section
of the C.H. Collins Athletic Complex adjacent to the
stadium and home to Denton Independent School
District's (DISD) swim and water polo teams.
At the end of each fiscal year, any deficit generated
by the combined revenues and expenditures
of the NAT and WWP are equally shared on a
50 percent basis between the City of Denton and DISD.
THE NAT � DENTON NATATORIUM
The NAT is a two-story indoor aquatic center
with a competition pool, lap lanes, three diving
boards, and a leisure pool with a giant water slide.
The NAT is open year-round and serves
DISD students and families, as well as
residents and nonresidents.
WWP � WATER WORKS PARK
The water park is adjacent to the indoor pool
and has four giant slides, a lazy river, a children's
water play pool with interactive features,
two toddler slides, ten cabanas, a gift shop,
two outdoor pavilions, a sand volleyball court,
and a NEW 13,308 sq ft wave pool.
Funding for the wave pool and concession
stand was approved as part of the 2014
Capital Improvement Bond package
and has cost approximately $2.6 million.
The NEW 1,425 sq ft concession stand
will open summer 2018.

In response to unexpected wave pool construction delays, marketing
and advertising strategies were modified in an effort to maintain
revenues and water park attendance. In spite of the delays, admission
revenues increased $152,010 with the following results:
Daily admission revenues increased: $105,577
Season pass revenues increased: $46,433
Due to construction delays, adjustments were made to sell season
passes at last year's rates until the wave pool opened. As a result,
family season passes increased by 267.
2016 family season passes sold (all-summer): 452
2017 family season passes sold thru July 8: 719
Preseason promotional adjustments were required due to construction
delays that resulted in the creative development of the new tag line
"Happiness Comes in Waves." Integration of this tag line paired with
discounts helped offset negative publicity stemming from delays.
In an effort to maximize the wave pool at the end of the season, staff rolled
out a weekly schedule of big waves that limited the use of tubes. To adjust,
an end of season social media campaign was created called "Big Wave Days"
providing an opportunity to target tweens, teens, and adults.
Due to the lack of an opening date commitment, wave pool announcement
marketing strategies shifted from primarily print advertising to social media.

REVENUE NOTES:
� Actual NAT revenues for FY16-17 decreased by ($44,014) versus FY15-16 Actuals
and increased by $31,646 versus FY16-17 Budgeted.
� The decrease in NAT Actuals was primarily due to a decrease in admissions of ($13,050)
as a result of a decline in pass sales resulting from revisions to the pass structure which
eliminated family passes.
� NAT aquatic program revenue decreased ($17,017) due to the discontinuation of water aerobic
pass and a decrease in water safety program enrollment. The water aerobics pass was
modified to a value-added benefit to the NAT pass.
� NAT rental revenue for parties, lane rentals, and after hour rentals decreased ($9,511)
due to a drop in bookings for after hour and party rentals and a drop in
Masters Swim Team and physical therapy attendance.
� Actual WWP revenues for FY16-17 increased by $168,141 versus Actuals FY15-16 due to
an increase in admissions of $152,010. This increase is attributed to an increase in pass
sales, daily attendance, and an increase in admission fees when the wave pool opened.
� WWP concessions increased $16,292 due to an increase in pricing and sale of product.
� WWP rentals decreased ($3,626) due to inclement weather which forced the cancellation
of several birthday parties and two after hour rentals. Locker rentals decreased ($1,765).
� WWP Actual revenues decreased by ($456,028) versus FY16-17 Budgeted due
to construction delays which postponed the opening of the wave pool until �uly 8.
In addition, the concession stand was not completed during summer 2017,
which impacted projected concessions revenue.
