Bathrooms are never clean, but other than that, it is a good place. Alot of tye kids tgere are unattended and they use a lot of bad language and vape. Parents should be with their children as the lifeguards can watch with the help of the parents. It isn't the lifeguards job to baby sit while you go do your own thing. Mist lifeguards are young and do the job they set out to do without unnecessary add ones. Qould be nice if they had chairs besides the benches. Glad they have steps to accommodate people who have trouble getting in and out of the pool.

Does anyone know the days it’s actually open? I have drove there everyday this week and it’s locked, no people to even tell you when it’s gonna actually be open. However the Google search says it’s open everyday till 5. I’m soo confused.

Nice atmosphere clean happy, the life guards although young respond with muscle memory level training. I witnessed one of the young ladies act quickly and decisively saving a small boy from drowning. Idk what that young lady's name was but wherever she is she should be commended and applauded. Very nice job anonymous life guard!

Great place to take kids, not to mention that it is free!! Improvements that need to be made is the walking area in front of the bathroom area is very slick,also there aren't any lawn chairs or concession.
