HJCRC Hot Tub Feature
Did you know the future HJCRC will have not one, but two hot tubs? We’ve just finished pouring in the concrete on these beauties!
Both hot tubs will be fully accessible — one is for all-ages and the other is warmer and just for adults. The larger, family hot tub features an accessibility ramp, while the adult tub will have an accessibility lift and is in a “wellness zone” with an outdoor patio, relaxing seating, steam room and sauna.
View the rendering below to see what the pool facilities will look like when complete!
