The project provides electrical improvements at the bathhouse including the aquatic areas, theater, and restrooms.
Work includes new electrical service from W Green Lake Drive N to the bathhouse along the park's primary path. We will be directionally boring under the trail to minimize impacts to trail use, trees, and to limit the amount of restoration needed with the utility installation. For additional information about this electrical upgrade project please contact: Katie Bang at Jacob.

The Aqua Theater was built in for the first Seafair Summer Festival in order to house an attraction called the Aqua Follies and their "swimusicals" - a combination of aqua ballet, stage dancing, and comedy.
The first-ever performance at the venue was on August 11, The theater's stage was round, and the orchestra pit nearby was recessed and floating. The theater had high diving platforms near the stage. Its grandstand was fan-shaped and built to a capacity of 5, seats. The venue also featured a "moat".

Beginning in the theater was dismantled and re-purposed. The area to the right stage offers a pedestrian pier over the lake. To the left of the stage, crew shells are stored. A small craft center was put into the place formerly held by most of the grandstand.
