About

Family-friendly aquatic park featuring indoor and outdoor pools, a lazy river, slides and a toddler area.

While specific published pool temperatures are not readily available, public aquatic centers like Pharr Aquatic Center typically maintain their pools, especially competition and leisure pools, within comfortable ranges (e.g., 78-82°F) often through heating, particularly to ensure enjoyment during their operating season.

A fun place for families with small children! There are two main swimming areas, one for babies and the other for smaller kids. There is also a small lazy river + 3 slides for big kids! I do wish they would have added a normal pool for the adults but it’s definitely a nice spot! 🛝

Plenty of lifeguards always alert to any shenanigans. Quick to alert others of any horseplay or mishaps. Lots of fun and plenty of space to have kids play in the water.

It’s a good park , just wish the water was a bit cleaner, and the lazy river is small but the sprinkler system hasn’t worked in a while . All the slides were open . Got lucky and got a table under the shade of trees . My kids had fun. You can take an ice cooler with waters and snacks . You can probably take a whole picnic. I did see some ppl with pizza boxes . So it’s cool that you can take food and drinks . We went for Father’s Day so it wasn’t too crowded. The little kids do enjoy the splash area . The big pool was closed, probably because it was a Sunday. The lifeguards are always on duty and watching the kids like hawks so that’s good.

I like the place, it's neat, organized, and the lifeguards take care of us. However, my main problem is the indoor pool is never open. I've gone twice hoping it would be open because it says open on week days. Another problem is that I hate that the 2 slide rides, instead of sending 1 person for each slide, they send one person to choose between the other, and which takes a lot longer than it should. Lastly, this park kicks everyone out of the pool for about 30 minutes to put the powder to clean the pool, just wait till the end of the day. We're wasting our time and money.

What a great place to bring your family on a summer afternoon. The place is very clean and very big. Lots of things to say and do and the food is an overpriced. The sodas aren't more than a dollar and they have decent food selection of everything. This is what was key for my family, the park wasn't HUGE. So if the kids ran off we didn't have to form a search party. Finally they have lifeguards EVERYWHERE...so some of the slides did take longer but they were very attentive.
