What are people saying (AI review summary)? This water park receives mixed but generally positive reviews. Many visitors praise it as a wonderful, clean, and well-maintained facility with a variety of activities including water slides, an obstacle course, a lazy river, a splash pad, and diving boards, all offered at a good value ($5 entry). Lifeguards are sometimes noted as friendly and attentive to safety, such as promptly addressing pool contamination. However, a significant recurring issue is capacity, with many guests being turned away, leading to frustration and disappointment. There are also complaints about inconsistent staff behavior, with some being described as unfriendly, 'whistle-happy,' or applying rules inconsistently regarding breaks. Tips include arriving early to secure a spot and bringing personal chairs.

Wonderful place to spend a summer day! The pool is brand new and very clean. Lots of activities to do, including water slides and diving board. Only $5 per person to get in for the day and it is well worth it! Get there early to get a spot in the shade and they are having people bring in their own chairs due to COVID right now, but you can early take in a towel and find a spot to sit in the grass.

My family spent the 4th of July afternoon there. Our first time, it was great! The only downside we had to leave earlier then planned. Because the pool became contaminated by fecal matter and it takes 12hrs to sterilize the pool. I am so glad they keep such a close eye on that sort of thing we will be back

We love this place but the reality is you're fighting to get a place each year. you would think at this point they would figure out a way to increase capacity or figure out a system to where you pay by the hour which increases the likeliness of availability to open up for others to be able to share in some of the experience. We've driven across town 2 days in a row now just to be let down..hard to explain that to a 3-year-old who's been excited all morning long over and over again.

I visited with my daughter and granddaughters for the first time this weekend. We were very pleasantly surprised. All the amenities of a waterpark just in a smaller venue. lifeguards were very friendly and helpful. the entire place was very clean and the water was perfect not to chemically etc.. they also had fun music. The pool area consists of water slides, an obstacle course, a small lazy circle river, a splash pad area with slides for the younger ones, and diving board area. We had a great time and will definitely go back.

The staff was not the friendliest. One was whistle happy and kept blowing his whistle every 15 seconds at everyone. They took constant breaks every 45 minuets and had everyone get out of the water. Yet one lifeguard let some kids stay in the water and play basketball and talked to them the whole time, yet made other people get out of the water.
