Great staff! Clean pool, dressing room and showers. Concession are inexpensive. Plenty parking and in or nearby a park. Handicap parking. I really like the way they have adult and baby swim times. The day we went it rained but had a good time before it started. I was informed by one of the lifeguards they play it safe and each time it thunders the time begins ticking and he said rules are 30 minutes after thunder ends before swimming can continue. Very nice place.

Honestly, this is probably a 5-star pool, especially for this size of a community, but I'm just not really a pool person. It has a great splash-pad-style play area for little kids and a larger slide for big kids. It also has a concession, diving well, attentive life guards, a pretty good number of chairs and tables, and decent locker rooms.
