What are people saying (AI review summary)? This swimming facility is generally praised as an affordable and family-friendly destination suitable for all ages. Reviewers frequently highlight the cleanliness of the pools and grounds, the abundance and vigilance of lifeguards, and the effective management of rules and behavior, including strict swimwear enforcement. Amenities such as a toddler area, slides, food trucks, and ice cream vendors are also noted positively. However, common criticisms include significant crowding, particularly on busy days, inadequate parking, and a shortage of seating which often forces guests onto ant-infested grassy areas. One reviewer also pointed out that the main pool lacks steps or a sloped entry.

I normally wouldn't rate a swimming pool, but this was unique. We got there early and got into line, which turned out to be a really good idea. The staff came out reminding us of the swimwear rules and no glass bottles, weapons, or vapes. The price is reasonable. Inside, the water is clean and all ground areas are clean and tidy. There were lifeguards all over the place. People not in proper swimwear were asked to leave the pool, disrespectful and disruptive behavior was quickly dealt with by management and lifeguards will still kept full coverage of the pools. When two parents were about to get into an argument, management and lifeguards quickly took care of the issue before it escalated. My only criticism is that the big pool does not have steps down into the water, or a slope entry. To get into the big pool, it is either slide off the side, or jump in. No diving though, the lifeguards look for that.
Had a great time here with my family today, will for sure be coming back! Cute little swimming area for toddlers and it even has a big slide for older kids. The only thing that was an issue was how crowded the place was, but it was opening day and so it was to be expected. Loved to see the lifeguards doing their jobs and making sure the kids were behaving safely in the water. My daughter had a blast and so did we. Perfect if you want an affordable place to go swimming this summer and it’s easier than taking your littles to an overpriced waterpark.
Nice place to take your kids my son and I enjoyed our visit
They were reserving lots of tables & chairs for the band but the band didn't play anything while we were there. We had to sit in the grass & there were lots of ants biting us. I'm guessing the band was going to play for a private party after they closed, but they didn't need the tables & chairs during regular pool hours. The parking there is horrible, not enough handicap parking spaces or regular parking spaces, but they had parking spaces reserved for staff that wasn't being used. The parking spaces on the street were filled up as well & people started parking in no parking zones. They should do something about the ants because there's not enough seats & lots of people have to sit in the grass.
Perfect for a family day. Any age from 0-99 every member will have fun. I guarantee it. Cheap to get in. Make sure everyone who plans to swim has proper swim wear bc the check each and every person. Great family friendly music. Delicious food from a food truck and there is an ice cream guy who sits out fron every day. The waterslide was fun but better for small children. Shaded tables and grassy areas to make a picnic area. Simply amazing. And my son had a blast
