Nice experience! Great attentive life guards! There were like 8 of them when we went. Kids had a great time and so did I! Pool could've been a little cleaner on the bottom but dirt never hurt anyone so go get your swim on!

I went later in the day when the pool was open for adult swim. The water was clean, and the temperature was great. The pool was not crowded, and I was able to enjoy my time there.

Good pool, clean and life guards on high alert, but it’s small and right next to a truck site with all those abandoned or rusted construction trucks, gives me a ick but it’s good.
