I took my grandson here today. There is a Big pool and splash park right next to the pool, outside the fence. The shallow end is 3ft deep, then goes to 6ft deep and then 11ft deep. The 3-6 ft deep side has a small water slide. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool and surrounding area is clean. Very reasonable pricing. AND, I left my wallet with my credit card, debit card drivers license and work ID in the chair I was sitting in....One of the lifeguards showed up at my house with my wallet in his hand!! I didn't even realize that i had lost it until that very moment. Thank you for your honesty and kindness!! 👏

A great place to get out the sun, pricing was awesome $2 for kids $3 for adults. I don't believe it would be as crowded if the other location wasn't still shut down. Still enough room to enjoy your swim. The day we went there was a few showers but it didn't stop the show. I do wish they would put up curtains for those who need to get dressed have space instead of the bathroom area. Otherwise I would give it a 5

No curtains on the stalls for years!!!! Literally can be purchased from dollar tree to fix that. Customers should not have to bring their own curtains for privacy though. Management hasnt done anything about it for years. However the pool was nice and no issues from staff.

Me I'm a big rule follower. I'll never give you any grief about it and do what you ask. Today I was denied my cooler it's the rules no problem back to my car. Next to watch a family of eight white kids get denied their cooler, within 3 minutes, two African-American ladies come up and they're allowed their cooler for all of their kids. When I pointed out that it's completely unfair. We've done told you ma'am you can't have yours and when I request why but they are I'm told it's because they're going to drop the drinks off and bring it back out. Half an hour later and then speaking with the manager they're still allowed to have their cooler while everybody else is not allowed. I'm all about fairness. All of the Caucasian people were told no. This isn't right we need to be fair to all children of all races. And don't worry about that type of unfairness I don't think I will be back

My experience there was not good! If you do not mind parents, teens, and even pre-teens screaming profanities, and the smell of marijuana permeating the entire area then this is the place for you. Not to mention someone hit my car in the parking lot, and of course did not bother to leave their info. Of course they didn't. That's the type of place this is. Whoever runs this place needs to get some serious control over it!! Not a good place!
