Allison the life guard was the bee's knees. She made sure we were especially cared for, was firm on the rules, and also allowed us to have fun. The diving boards were top tier, the slide was rad, and the lazy river was, dare I say, lazy. We had a great time and it was made better by splashing the cousins sitting on the side doing big dives. Also Cooper the lifeguard was very professional, kind, and good at his job! Way to go, Cooper!

Good for all ages of kids. Zero depth entry makes it perfect for going swimming with even real young kids.

Too crowded with spatially oblivious kids who will jump on you to get at their friends. One lifeguard in particular seemed to be in a perpetually bad mood the entire time we were there and constantly blew his whistle at kids for every little thing. Everyone else seemed friendly.

Multiple life gaurd on duty, 0 depth entry, 2 slides, water basketball hoops, high and low dive, lazy river. They have a family time. This is a pool you'd go to to with children to play, lap swimming is not an option. They offer swimming lessons in the summer through parks and rec. There is a parking lot, snack stand, and a play ground.
