Popular venue with a splash pad and regular water aerobics classes , plus lifeguards to ensure safety.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This facility is largely praised as a fun, clean, and family-friendly destination for water activities, featuring pools, a toddler section, and a lazy river. Visitors frequently highlight the abundance of lifeguards, contributing to a sense of safety, and appreciate the option to bring their own food and drinks. Membership is noted as being very affordable. However, common criticisms include the very hot ground requiring water shoes, inconsistent concession stand availability (sometimes closed or lacking warm food), and confusing public opening hours (often limited to weekends). There have also been instances where the lazy river was not operating.

It's a great place to exercise and relax. Membership is so cheap. $30/ Month ( 7-14-2025 Present)
Super fun place for water fun! Great toddler section, lazy river with lots of tubes, large pool, showers for rinsing and safety vests for rent with ID. You can drinks and snacks, lots of trash cans to keep it clean and plenty of life guards around which is great. Only warning is wear water shoes or prepare to burn your feet, ground gets very hot between water areas!
We went on Sunday and it was pleasantly uncrowded. The place looked clean. And I was happy there was lifeguards everywhere. Concession stand was closed😢. But we had a great day. We were allowed to bring drinks and food. Everyone treated us nicely! 😃
So when it says opens at 12 that means not to the public, only open to the public on the weekends, what kinda shtuff is that. 84 degrees out an we can't use a empty facility, makes total sense. Who makes these rules up. Come on EC do better. Update, went to 3 stars because when we were finally able to enter on Saturday, the place was awesome. The lazy river was not operating which was a bummer. Concession stand has some variety, no warm foods tho. Life vest also provided for either an ID or keys. Lifeguards were on watch at all pools at all times. All in all had a great time.
My kids had a great time! We'll be back soon.
