From September 25 to October 27, 2025, FGMA and The Sports Facilities Companies conducted a public opinion survey.

Our design team developed several concepts, based on the survey results, that included expanding the lap pool, upgrading fitness and wellness spaces for residents who walk the river, reimagining fun and kid-friendly areas, and creating flexible spaces for special events and birthday parties. These design ideas, addressing the items survey respondents said were essential, were showcased at the Open Houses during March 2026.
