Moana Springs Pool set to open Tuesday in Reno. Here's what to know before you go

More than 17 years after the previous facility closed, and two years after construction started, Reno has a new pool.

Three of them, really.

About a million gallons of water were required to fill the three pools at the site on Moana Lane in South Reno. The new Moana Springs Pool will have its grand opening at 2 p.m. Tuesday.

The 52,000-square foot facility includes a 50-meter indoor competition pool, a multi-use indoor recreation pool, a outdoor soaking pool, a 5,000-square foot locker rooms and multipurpose rooms.

The $52 million cost for the facility was helped by to a $9 million commitment from the Pennington Foundation. The rest of the money came from the city of Reno's general improvement fund. The original estimate in 2022 was for $46 million.

What to know

Rates : The facility opened in mid-August so officials could dial in staffing needs and operating procedures. It will open full to the public on Wednesday.

Costs will vary from $4-10 for daily use. Open swim rates start at $2 for children and $4 for adults.

To use the entire facility, which includes a 5,000-square foot fitness center, prices start at $10 for adults per day, $8 for senior citizens, $7 for youth.
