This place has great walking paths, but I wish dog owners were more responsible.

Friendly staff, lifeguards on duty. They do allowed outside food and drinks, no glass. Must sign in upon entering, space to place items and couple tables to sit with umbrellas. Water slide is not in use at this time. Portion of the pool 10ft area is not allowed to swim in. Lowest depth is 3ft. Great for small kids and bring your own life vests.

Pool is listed as open but is empty, no water. I have reported this to Google, but they didn't accept the edit. Houston, YAY! This is an example of not being able to have nice things. I'm pretty sure there was plenty of cooler weather to do this work, but Houston has strong rules against the use of any form of PLANNING.

I came here today with my kids i asked could we bring our cooler in with us they told us no but when they did the 10min break i see several people sitting at the table eating and drinking&the life guards Told my babies couldn’t have their arm floats in the water so we took them off of them but it was a little girl rite next to us with some on in the water , i came here a few years ago it was different and a whole lot better but i will not be returning. Everybody was rude

BE AWARE! 4 lifeguards on duty and the one guy signing in people but the deep end is closed and the slide as well? What are they getting paid for if not on duty in the right attire to lifeguard? Come on owners of this pool! Oh and please don’t walk barefoot because there are plastic pieces of broken stuff where adults and children walk. I wish I could upload the pictures I have.
