Merriam city employees do a great job making sure the Irene B. French Community Center and the Merriam Aquatic Center look presentable. On the surface, everything looks great – why do we need a new community center and pool? But if you go behind the scenes, you’ll see how much the 100+ and 30+ year-old facilities are deteriorating.
We encourage you to visit our facilities during one of our drop-in tours so you can see for yourself.
