We had such a great time today it was awesome. There are a bunch of fun activities to enjoy at this spot. At the pool area, there's a $2 fee per person. Throughout the day, they have multiple 15-minute breaks just for adults (18 and over) to swim. I’ve taught my son that when the sprinklers turn off, it means it's time for all the kids to exit the pool and stand behind the white line that goes around the outside of the pool. Just a heads up they're very strict about what’s allowed in the pool. No snorkeling gear, noodles, foam tubes, donut floaties, arm floaties, or beach balls basically, anything that helps you float but isn’t secure. However, life vests that zip or clip are allowed again it cant be filed with air for little ones, along with a few small toys. They have some life jackets available for the little ones and adults. You just have to exchange your driver's license for the life jacket and when you're ready to go, you'll just return the jacket and you get your ID back. They also have some picnic tables to the right side along the fence that divides the pool for you to go eat, they do not allow any food near or around the pool. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Overall, we had an amazing experience!

Awesome staff. Said it was my birthday in passing. 15 mins later 2 girls came to me by the pool with a cupcake with a candle. Very cool.

This is an awesome park! We are fortunate to live close by! The playground is very nicely kept up. They repainted it a few months ago and just finished resurfacing it! It’s always clean too. The bathrooms are easily accessible and clean. The pool is great, especially for smaller children. $2 a piece to swim. The tennis courts are nice too.

The park is phenomenal the pool is jus what you need on a hott day. It has something for everyone starting at 10inches !! All the way to 8 ft!! I love the "adult swim" portion of the hr . It allows for us to really relax and swim and splash without taking out someone's little kid in the process ! Great concept and the staff is on point ! Friendly knowledgeable and skilled at what they do! . I only been a few times but everytime exceeds the Last !
