What are people saying (AI review summary)? This aquatic facility is largely praised as a clean, fun, and affordable destination suitable for all ages, offering various pools, a splash pad, a diving board, and numerous lifeguards. While many appreciate the concession stand's convenience, quick service, and sometimes decent prices, others find it overpriced with limited, unhealthy food options and restrictive policies against outside coolers and re-entry.

Update 2025: It was a nice day to swim. Super busy. They moved the concession lines quickly for as long and busy as they were. The splash pad was not on, however. Unsure why. I would rate this 5/5, however there were about 10 teen boys picking on little girls and butting in front of them over and over again in the diving board line. After saying something to them and then being disrespectful I let the lifeguard know. The lifeguard said they had numerous warnings all day and she would keep a closer eye. The teens said something else and continued to do it. This time I went to the manager and she said they always have issues with them and they're thrown out about daily. I'm unsure why these teen boys haven't been banned for at least a while from this public place to keep kids safe. This was my only issue. The concession stand had a lot of choices and the prices were decent. The water was warm. There is plenty to do for all ages.

It's a nice clean pool and it's fun for all ages. There's a splash pad as well for younger children and a kiddie pool area for children as well. As well as a concession stand with reasonable prices.

This place is amazing! So nice, cheap to get into and clean! The concession stand is in a separate area that is fenced off and the snacks are pretty cheaply priced! There's a diving board, small slide and a kids area! Plenty of lifeguard's on duty which is great! The only thing I really don't like is the chairs...they are kinda uncomfortable so bring a pillow or something if you have sensitive bones lol!

Beautiful Pool and Splash pad. It was great when it opened in the morning but it gets crowded and some kids were running and pushing others in the pool and that was unnerving. Had a nice day and enjoyed other than that.

Pool was great for the Little ones, small area for the middle kids that can't swim that well, the down fall, was The concession stand was way over priced and the food wasn't that good. Nothing like a sandwich all junk food, Can't bring coolers in. But.can't go out either unless you pay again. Don't see why you can't bring your coolers in if they in fenced area? Or even smoke in there if you keep it clean, Respect others, or step outside.
