Swimmers can float along the Lazy River with its constant current, slide down the meandering water slide, or kick back in the 18-person spa and let the warm jets of water, with temperatures ranging from 102 to 104 degrees, ease away aches and pains. Kept at a constant 84 to 86 degrees, the leisure pool is also available for aqua arthritis classes. Both the competition pool and leisure pool are wheelchair accessible.

Field House
Highlighting the Field House at the Prince George’s Sports & Learning Complex is the 200-meter, Mondo SuperX Performance, 6-lane, indoor track. The facility sponsors a number of All-Comers meets throughout the year. One of the few indoor track and field venues in the region, the Field House boasts the highest quality space and equipment for all indoor track and field events.
Details
The Field House is designed to make track meets and practices easy to manage, participate in, and watch. Sprint lanes on both sides of the track allow simultaneous sprint races, and the excellent track surface is the best available for races of any distance. The full-service scoreboard quickly displays the results of the runner’s place, time, and team score. An indoor throwing cage gives participants a chance to refine their techniques, and multiple areas for high jump, long jump, and pole vault allow field events to run quickly. Spectator seating for 3,000 gives an unobstructed view of the entire venue. The open, indoor area of the 75,000-square-foot Field House lends itself to non-track events. Overhead netting can be dropped down to partition off the infield from the track. The Field House is also a great space for exhibits and trade shows.
