Bathrooms are frequently dirty (I know it’s maybe a kid thing!) but eew and I wished they had the suit dryer like prairie lakes and mystic has!

Fantastic place to relax by the pool, both for children and adults. Very friendly service, visible lifeguards which is a big plus for parents whose children use the pool. it is worth emphasizing that everything around and in the restrooms is clean. For this large and spacious parking lot. Summing up ... Good Place.

I like Chippewa Pool but it's too crowded. If the opening hours were longer, possibly this would unload a bit the crowds. I'll try a different pool tomorrow.
