Who/What is the UVAB?
The Upper Valley Aquatics Boosters (UVAB), formerly referred to as “Friends of the Pool,” is a grassroots group of local residents who have come together across the PRSA community to support our existing Howard Hopkins Memorial Pool in Leavenworth while working toward development of a year-round aquatics facility.
We advocate a design that capitalizes on the unique outdoor atmosphere our community values. We envision a vibrant center for the Upper Valley that addresses diverse needs for aquatics safety, health & fitness, athletic competition, recreation, and fellowship within our community.

What is the PRSA?
What is the Upper Valley Parks and Recreation Service Area (PRSA)?
The Upper Valley Parks and Recreation Service Area, frequently known as the PRSA, is a voter-approved Special Purpose District that was formed in 1997. The PRSA is a legal entity separate from the City of Leavenworth and is governed by a volunteer board with representatives from Chelan County, the City of Leavenworth, Peshastin Community Council, the Chumstick community, and Cascade School District. Collected PRSA funds go to the operation and maintenance of the Howard Hopkins Memorial Pool and cover approximately half of the current pool operations and maintenance budget.

Our Goals
In partnership with the folks of the Upper Valley Park and Recreations Service Area Board (PRSA) and the Community Pool Operations Management, the UVAB wishes to have a pool that is a vibrant focal point of our community.
Through this partnership we will promote successful aquatics programs that address safety, health, athletic, and socialization needs in our community.
Our immediate goal is to increase an awareness of the value and benefits our community gains from a thriving aquatic facility in the Upper Valley.
Furthermore, we will support any fundraising efforts necessary to maintain, improve, expand, and protect the legacy of a pool for all Upper Valley residents and their families.
Ultimately, the UVAB strives to make the community’s desire for a year-round pool become a reality.
