It offers a refreshing recreational option for park visitors, typically featuring a main pool suitable for general swimming and often a shallower area for younger children, making it a popular spot for families during the summer months.

Large pool with lots of seating! The pool is clean, has life guards, and a snack stand. The only downside is there is no shade on the pool deck, so if you’re someone who has kids or needs shade, bring an umbrella or a small tent for breaks from the sun. Entry fee to the park is $7 with state license, $9 with out of state, and free for park pass holders, & the pool is $3 for adults. Even though the pool was ‘busy’ when we went, there was still plenty of room to not feel like everyone was on top of each other.

It's a good place to bring your kids on a hot day

The cost is great! The pool is a fun way to spend hot summer days! I wish they would upgrade their filters, there's a lot of debris in the pool! The groups of camp kids, however, are not appropriately watched and take over the entire pool and deck! They get rude and will move your belongings so they can take over your chair/spot!

No shade and no changing tables? How hard is that to provide?

Clean around the pool area and in the pool usually. Nice when it's not busy. Pool is nice and cool on those hot days and nice and sunny open area. Bathrooms and changing area/locker room area could use a cleaning, but what public areas couldn't? Lol grew up swimming here ❤
