(sheila) committee members recommended closing cook and leeds pools after the 2016 swimming season. those pools would then be replaced with splash pads. the city would also move forward with a regional aquatic center in the morningside area. once that center is built, the city would close lewis pool. finally, there are some major

erikson pool, but the committee wants it to operate as long as possible. so, when leif erikson pool does fail, the city will close it, and replace it with a splash pad. then the city will evaluate future aquatic opportunities near the north side. "hopefully it's going to enhance. people have the opportunity to use splash pads for free. it's an opportunity we don't have much now, besides dale street. a regional aquatic center is something that i've heard people wanting over and over again," said sioux city parks & recreation director, matt salvatore. all of these plans are recommendations, and aren't final. a public meeting will be held in early december to get feedback from residents. after that, the park board will meet again and bring it to city council for their vote. something that began as an idea 12 years ago, is on the way to becoming a reality. construction worker's equipment beeping. the launchpad children's museum in sioux city had its first exhibit installed today. it's a climbing wall where kids can get some energy out. the museum is based on science,
