About

Waterpark featuring slides, lazy rivers, and a kiddie area.

Specific pool temperatures for the Gardner Aquatic Center are not publicly advertised. As a seasonal outdoor facility, pool temperatures typically fluctuate with ambient weather conditions and are not maintained at a fixed, heated level.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The aquatic facility generally receives positive feedback for being a fun and well-maintained family destination with a variety of attractions including slides, a lazy river, a zero-depth entry, a playground, and a kids' area. Guests appreciate the reasonable $8 admission fee, the allowance of outside food and drinks, and inexpensive concessions. However, common complaints include inconvenient operating hours (12:30 pm - 7 pm) leading to overcrowding, and some finding lifeguards to be overly strict. One notable negative experience involved a couple feeling unfairly targeted and discriminated against by a staff member for perceived 'PDA,' highlighting a potential need for better staff training and consistent rule enforcement.

This is a great pool with lots of things to do. Slides, lazy river, zero depth entry, playground, even an area for small children. Cheap concessions as well. I would give 5 stars if the hours were better. Their hours are absolutely horrible which means they are always packed because they don't open until 1230p and close at 7p.

Great price ($8/person) for admission, and they allow outside drinks and snacks. The lifeguards are definitely a little whistle happy, though. But the park was well-maintained, and the admission was very reasonable.

wow, I give this place 4.1 stars. It's so greasy, I mean great, and I love eating mustard with mangos that they serve at the bungalows. Last time I went the water didnt leave any warts like usual. Me and my bois mason adrian have gone 67 times, usually in our ice cream swim shorts. I feel its a great place to go after a barbershop haircut (one that costs a quarter) and a nice place to wet your grippers. Though some kids don't give EEFOC about the rules and run amuck, but after explaining our friend group it usually goes well. Whenever im here I also like to play Pudgy Party, its a free game on the app store where you can play and earn and sell!!

My boyfriend and I were really disappointed with our visit. A staff member told us we had to separate because someone complained that we were showing “too much PDA,” even though we were just standing close and hugging like other parent would do with their kids when they don’t know how to swim. It felt unfair and honestly a little discriminatory—especially since we didn’t see others being treated the same way. It completely ruined our experience, and we left feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome. Hopefully the staff receives better training on how to handle these situations with fairness and respect.
