This swimming facility is highly regarded as an affordable and family-friendly option, catering to all ages with diverse areas including wading, shallow, and diving sections, alongside multiple water slides and available floating vests/toys for kids.

Love that they offer floating vests for kids of all ages, And toys. Lifeguards on duty on several posts. Slides weren't working while we were there. But look super fun. Cheap day of fun! 25$ for 5 of us was a score!

This pool has areas for everyone. A wading area, diving area and shallow areas. It also has two water slides. The life guards are very safety conscious and patient with the kids, but do in force the rules with authority as they should. The locker room and shower area were clean. Electric, mounted on the wall hair dryers were also nice.

Awesome place to have the kiddos bday party. Reasonable rates for Alaska and the party packs include tables and chairs. It is very humid though so be ready to sweat. They have to slide for the kids to go on and one more for adults or bigger kids that shoots you straight into the deep end... scary but cool. Definitely recommend taking advantage of this place before school is back in session.

This is one of my favorite pools. They keep the water temperature about perfect for laps, but warm enough not to freeze the kids in swim lessons or the adults in the aerobics classes. Great staff, too.
