Public swimming pool featuring a lazy river, water park area, and concession stand.

The water at Garden Rapids at The Big Pool is maintained at a comfortable 80 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 26.7 degrees Celsius).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the pool were mixed. Many visitors, especially children, thoroughly enjoyed the pool's various features like slides, zero-entry, and swimming lanes, often praising its affordable price. Some highlighted the pool's historic significance and recent upgrades, calling it a community asset, and commended the wonderful staff and lifeguards. However, significant criticisms included freezing water temperatures, inconvenient closures of pools or slides (e.g., due to vomit or unexplained reasons), and particularly the 'disgusting' condition of the bathrooms. One reviewer also mentioned rude staff and an early closing time.

Pool was great. My kids all absolutely loved it. Price was amazing for everything that's included. Only 2 issues I had was the water was freezing and when someone puked in the pool they closed it for 45 minutes so we were forced to leave since we had 3 littles that would have nothing to do for that time.

Took my children and nephew here. They loved it. It was cheap as well. Back home a pool smaller then this cost $5 a person. My girls were upset they couldn't go down the slides but I do understand their rules due to safety. We will be back next year.

The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. Staff were rude and the cyan slide was closed for no reason and the water was running. They also had the orange slide was closed at first I had to go up and down the stairs multiple times. Overall horrible experience would never recommend this place to anyone

The big pool is a sight to see.thry have slides and a zero entry pool ,a deep end and swimming Lanes. If you have not had a chance to swim in this historic pool you need to do it at least once. With all the upgrades it's no longer just a big pool. If you look really close you can see what big pool once was but now it is a real community asset. The staff and lifeguards are wonderful.
