A wonderful place with or without kids! Lots of joyous play sounds and plenty of places to walk in the water if that’s what you want. Lap lanes are almost always available so I’ve often use those for my water workout. Lots of seating, umbrellas, and fun!

My kids, Wavelry and Ziggi, love going to this pool! They love it so much that we commute about 30 minutes to get here. There is something for everyone! There is a small splash pad, a kid pool with a mini waterslide, and a circular pool with a current spinning you around. There are two large waterslides for the older kids and adults, a lazy river, a lap pool, and a diving board. The concession stand is reasonably priced and serves food, not just candy!

My kids and I came here a few times this summer (for the first time), with friends, and we loved it! The entire facility, including the restrooms, are well maintained and all the water areas, including the pool, are very clean! There are life guards all over, who do an excellent job of staying focused and keeping everyone safe. I can’t recommend this place enough! We will be back next summer!

This place is a hidden gem. I tell parents all the time about it all the time and it seems like not a lot of folks have tried it. There is an entrance fee for folks visiting, similar to any water park but it’s pretty casual - like a park or playground. There are 4 areas to enjoy the water: - the toddler pool with the giant water bucket (dumps about 5 min apart) - great for toddlers - event this section has a more chill area for kids who are ~1yo. - lap swim pool with a diving board - lazy river - bigger slides. Great for adults and kids 7yo and older The snack shop is reasonably priced but they don’t have much in the way of food. You can bring in any food that isn’t in glass containers which makes it helpful for people with kids who just want a pb&j or snacks! You can grab a lounger or bring chairs/blanket to set it out on the grass. There is a lot of space to lounge!

What a great hidden gem! Tips- get in line early to grab a shade spot or bring your own. Lifeguards were on point keeping all the kiddos safe, very clean and just adorable. Will definitely be back!
