West Mesa Aquatic Center is the site of the City's Olympic pool on the west side of town. The Aquatic Center opened on Memorial Day weekend in 1998 and was just the indoor and outdoor slide pools; the Olympic pool was built in a later phase in 2006.  In recognition of 25 years of Aquatics programming offered to the west side community, the City of Albuquerque has invested 2 million dollars into numerous renovations to include: New paved parking lot, new play features in the outdoor pool, refurbished water slides and indoor pool play features, renovated classroom, new ADA chair lifts, new Generation 7 timing system, new LCD scoreboard, shade structures in the outdoor pool area, new fencing along Fortuna road, an updated HVAC system and automated controls; making it a City of Albuquerque smart building, and a vast number of other facility repairs and improvements.  

This is an excellent pool for lap swimming, recreational swimming, exercise classes, swim meets (stadium seating to accommodate 800 spectators) and other activities.

The pool can be set for eight 50-meter lanes or two dozen 25-yard lanes. The pool also has two 1-meter diving boards and a 3-meter diving board.

The West Mesa Aquatic Center also features an indoor recreation pool that has a massive water slide and a beach-like zero-slope design.

It is handicap accessible and is great for birthday parties.

The outdoor pool is similar to the indoor pool but larger with two water slides and the Hydro Hub play area.
