Madison’s New Aquatic Center Is Here | Birmingham News

Madison’s dream aquatic center is finally coming to life—thanks to a major partnership between the city and Madison City Schools. Set to open at Dublin Park, this 25,000-square-foot facility will be a game-changer for competitive swimmers and adult fitness enthusiasts alike. After years of traveling to Albertville for practice, local student athletes will now have a dedicated, regulation-sized pool right in their backyard. Mayor Ranae Bartlett and Superintendent Eric Terrell praised the dedication of young swimmers and emphasized how this project will enable year-round training, weather-independent meets, and stronger community support—with parents cheering from built-in seating. The city and school district are splitting costs, with design input from coaches and the Recreation Advisory Board. Construction is slated for two years after bidding begins, followed by public access via daily fees or memberships managed by Parks and Recreation.
