This place has a great family atmosphere. The water slide is more kid friendly but they have a 20ft diving board for all ages. If heights aren’t your thing they have a 12 ft and a 8 ft diving board that jumps into a 15 ft deep pool. The bees can be a bit of a problem but overall everything is well. Evening swim has police posted and they allow outside food and beverage in provided they search the bags to ensure no policy violations occur.

This was my first time attending on a Friday(which wasn’t as packed) and we loved it!!! The slide is very fun for all ages! Water level goes up to 5 feet .. different levels of diving boards..staff very polite. Pool water clean and I love bringing my float/toys!! We even grilled hotdogs ! Only issue is bees coming out maybe 12pm-1pm in the wooded area which sting our 3 year old. We just lead them over at the trash with sodas so they would go away but it is summer time so it’s hard to blame the staff…. $18 bucks for adults isn’t bad if you stay along time. Bathrooms was spacious and clean and had showers but some sinks didn’t work. Going early is the best because the pool had out big beach balls and a blown swan float. Lifeguards always switched out watching everyone.

Great place to take your kids. No drinking which is good when it comes to having kids. FYI they check your cooler to make sure.... and yes you can bring your cooler of food and drinks. They have a slide, diving boards, music, picnic tables, grills and beach balls for the water. The price is fair because you can stay all day. They open at 10am til 6pm then it turns into night swimming BUT its extra.

Me an my family were there a few weeks back ago and it was my first time being there. I would’ve given this place a 5 star but the reasons for why I didn’t is because they’ve got several bees near the grill and picnic tables and my 3 year old Granddaughter got stung. They really need to take care of that problem! An I don’t like how it’s that expensive to get in, then they charge you an extra $8 more to do the night swimming which we didn’t choose to do but still.Other than that, it was clean and we had a good time.
