What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews are mixed, with one significant negative experience highlighting unsafe conditions due to glass in a flooded area and poor maintenance, leading to a refusal to return. Other feedback notes that the pool opened on June 14th, 2019, is a good size (6 feet max depth), and the park features a gated outdoor pool, playground, and waterpark area. While staff are generally organized, it can get crowded on family swim days. A program for special needs adults, particularly the boxing program, received high praise.

First time coming my daughter was playing in the water and cut her foot due to the area being flooded and some glass was in there not visible. I then noticed there was glass everywhere around the park like the staff doesn’t clean up or Check the area very un professional and will not be coming again. We go to a different park every week and this has never happened.

Lots of children here... gated outdoor pool and playground/ waterpark area. Organized staff but a little crowded on family swim day.
