Effective Dec. 3, Lane County is no longer under the two-week freeze but is still under Extreme Risk guidelines. These guidelines prohibit pools and recreational facilities from operating. So, Willamalane facilities will remain closed until Lane County is no longer categorized as Extreme Risk. Learn more.
Join us for a slip down the slide, a paddle in the pool, and more at this indoor water park in Springfield, Oregon. With family changing rooms, a kiddie pool for little swimmers, and a spa for adults, it’s an outing the whole family can enjoy.

FAQs:
What sanitation protocols are you taking?
Extra staff on each shift will also help with daily sanitizing during the day. Willamalane teams have introduced enhanced sanitation protocols including a full decontamination every night after close and in the middle of each day. We have also replaced all amenities that can be touched in the locker rooms with touchless options, including faucets, toilets, and paper towels.
What major differences will there be?
We have implemented new reservation procedures, one-way traffic flow, scan in and scan out procedures, sanitation protocols, and are offering limited programming and amenities to start.
Do I have to wear a mask? Will employees?
All staff members and patrons are required to wear masks when not in the water.
