Soren Johnson, 4, plays in the new water features Thursday at the Durango Community Recreation Center. The leisure and lap pools were closed in October to empty 500,000 gallons of water so the lap pool could be refinished and the old castle water feature in the leisure pool could be replaced with slides and palm trees.
