This place is absolutely amazing great place for kids, family friendly. You can bring your own food and drinks just no alcohol, alcoholic beverages and there’s a little kids pool then there’s one for a little bit bigger kids then there’s a big pool and a large slide for the larger kids. I definitely recommend going here. I don’t care where you’re from. It’s eight dollars per person. If your local and live in Richardson, all you have to do is show your ID and it’s four dollars per person plenty of lifeguards rotating on duty regularly.

It was so great. My ten year old daughter loved it here and wants to come here often. There is a lazy river which she loved so much. I thought it was going to suck like all the pools I have been to but this one was just perfect.

My nephews and I love going here. The lazy river is where we spend 99% of our time. The whirlpool is a favorite of my nephews. It's not too crowded and it stays clean.

We have come to the Heights every summer since it opened over a decade ago, and we still love it. There’s a lap pool, lazy river, two big slides, casual pool area, a baby/toddler area, and another kids area with a bucket and slides. We love to pack a cooler and stay a few hours a few times a week. The lifeguards have been hit-and-miss, but this summer, they’ve been excellent.
