About

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This water park generally receives positive feedback, highlighting its fun water features like slides, a tipping bucket, and designated areas for various age groups, making it enjoyable for families and kids. Patrons frequently praise its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, attentive lifeguards, and affordable pricing (often under $20 for a family). Amenities such as food options, lockers, dressing rooms, and bathrooms are available. However, some concerns were noted; one review specifically points out a manager who exclusively plays country music, refusing requests for diverse music and showing a dismissive attitude towards the park's diverse demographic, raising questions about intentionality. Another review clarifies that inconsistent operating hours and littering are often due to the facility being a city pool with understaffing and patrons' lack of respect, rather than poor management, as the pool does close daily for cleanup. Despite these, most staff are described as friendly and accommodating. Arriving early is recommended to beat the crowds.

Great pool and water playground. My issue is with the current manager who blasts nothing but country music 24/7 - all day, every day. For hours. When I asked him if he would be mixing it up, he gave me a huge smile and said absolutely not. I pointed out to him that his patrons are 90% Black and brown folks and he took offense to that. Feels a bit intentional. I hope they consider installing a manager who understands and respects the demographic and diversity of my home city.

Fun water adventures for the kids!. Friendly staff, easy entrance. Fair pricing and pool are kept pretty clean. Big and spacious. First come, first serve chairs / tables. They have small area for smaller children and deeper area on the other side. They have 2 water slides, which need to be 48' inch to ride all. They also have a small area with a smaller slide, with water coming out everywhere! The big red bucket that fills with water tips over, the kids love it!! Lifeguards are on duty on each side. Great place to go enjoy the sun and water. Definitely recommend checking this place out.

Very well maintained and clean water park. The life guards were on it which made the experience even better. The water was cold and perfect for the hot day. You also can't beat the price which was under $20 for a family of 3. There is food options and snacks available here as well including storage lockers, dressing rooms & bathrooms.

While most tards commenting on here are saying it’s bad business, they’re not open when they say, people throw trash won’t see this something to know is that it’s a city pool. They have been under staffed and forced to cycle which pools and rec centers are open in a round robin order. Hence the weird hours. These are city pools therefore people from everywhere can go. Unfortunately a lot of people suck and have no respect and litter. This is not a direct reflection of the pool and staff. Staff being rude well that’s different. I’ve only encountered 1 rude staff member at the gate the rest have been as accommodating as possible as they are often left in the dark. They do close for a while everyday to clean up to combat the littering. Also people please remember you have teenagers at their first jobs sometimes dealing with some people basically like you cut them some slack. We go here frequently for the fun slides as the community pool where we live is bland and doesn’t even have a diving board. So if you want small clean and boring move somewhere with an HOA and a pool or suck it up butter cup.

We had so much fun! Get there early to beat the crowd. Lots of places to swim or just sunbathe. Clean and safe and not expensive!
