This is a great pool! Only downside is the adult swim every hour or so. It would be better if they restricted adult swim to either a designated time in the morning or afternoon or to one particular pool (Harney Gym pool is already restricted to adults only swim.). All the same, the kids have a blast, and we love the covered kiddie pool area for toddlers as well as the built-in splash pad.

$5 per person is crazy. Season pass option is a decent price. Overall it's ok. Kids get yelled at too much, it's not worth the constant yelling.

Decent sized pool, I like that there's a wading pool connected (but has a gate so toddlers don't just wander into the bigger pool). My only complaint is that the Splash pad hasn't worked and my kids keep asking when they can go there.
