About

Shallow pool complex for all ages, with a 5' lane-swimming pool, a dumping bucket and a zero-depth pool.

Specific information regarding the exact temperature of the pool(s) at Lakeside Water Park is not readily available in public descriptions. As an outdoor municipal facility, its pool temperatures are typically unheated and influenced by ambient weather conditions.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the facility are mixed. Swim lessons consistently receive high praise for friendly, patient, and effective instructors who significantly boost children's confidence and swimming abilities. The general swimming areas are often described as clean, safe, fun, and well-equipped with features like slides and splash zones, with attentive lifeguards. However, common criticisms include the pool's cold temperature, very limited and unhealthy snack options (often out of stock), and restrictive policies such as no outside food/coolers and charging parents to simply observe their children. Staff experiences are polarized, with some finding them excellent and helpful, while others reported very rude interactions.

Pool is nice just very cold. Would like to see the ability to bring in your own food in coolers. Snacks are pretty limited....not any healthy choices. Relaxing atmosphere. Kids were running without parents supervision, lifeguards were on it though. Not bad for the price.

Excellent staff! Very friendly and helpful. Clean, safe area that's very fun and great for kids of all ages and abilities. Water slide, spraying shallow area with the dumping bucket and deeper separate area.

Very rude staff they literally made me pay 4$ each for me and my wife to watch our son swim so he don’t drown we were given braclets so they could swim but they don’t allow them to swim with my oldest son who is 14 we didn’t even get in the water and most of the time we sat in car we were in there for literally 30 min and there out of everything in snack bar and they are very limited and unhealthy .next time I camp we will just go to the beach at the lake and take our own food and snacks and the beach is free .

The swim instructors have all been very friendly and patient. I can tell that the semi-private lessons are really building up my kids' confidence in the water. They made the whole process very fun and easy for our family.

Love the teachers for both my kids. I had a 7 and 10 year old that had no idea how to swim. Dolce, Abby, and Brock were so patient with both kids. The level they swim at now makes me feel so much more comfortable with my kids in any pools! Would definitely recommend !!
