Fun Facts

  • With Cottonwood’s storied history and close proximity to the once booming mining towns of Clarkdale and Jerome, the facility was modeled after a train station to pay homage to the trains that would transport all the mining materials of the past.
  • When the facility first opened, we featured the tallest completely indoor water slide in the state of Arizona.
  • During the construction of the building the open beams that hold up the gymnasium roof were sent around to all the local schools to allow the students to write their name on the beams and forever be a part of the history of the facility.
