If you have lil ones who love the water and you live in Mesa and you also don't want to pay the high prices of water parks, which are great, but for those who can't afford them very often, or just don't want to pay that price, then this pool is one of the best in Mesa. For older kids, teens, and lil ones, it has it all. Great lil kids area, it's basically a playground area in the water, which isn't deep it has a side by side slide, for very lil ones, a tunnel circular water slide, also for the lil ones around 3 and 4 years old but not yet 46 inches tall. which you have to be to go on, the bigger water slide, or you need to be able to swim( if you think your 4 or 5 year old can handle the big water slide and they can swim fairly well, just ask the lifeguards on duty) I did at another pool, and they let my 4 yrs old go down then, even had the lifeguard at the end of the side in the water ready for her just in case, it's also for the older kids, teens, and us adults. Not to mention the 3 diving boards separated, and the larger swimming area, with the lap lanes. All the shade you could want, vending area with tables and shade, grass area with huge umbrellas for shade. The staff and lifeguards are very professional and friendly. I just had a small scrape on my foot, which was bleeding, they tended to it very professionally, nicely, and they gave me an extra band aid to boot. Love water, love to have fun with your kids and cool off, and not break your bank account to do it, then this is the place. Just saying. Give it a try, hope you enjoy it if you do. I'll add photos soon. And here are the two photos, so far, more to come when we visit again, the dark haired lil one that's my daughter/granddaughter, she's with her cousin. They had a blast.

They were absolutely AWESOME and they advised me of the many options they had for my Autistic Grandson, who was with me on this Visit to their Pool on this day, and I was so SUPER IMPRESSED by their Understanding and HELPFUL Accommodations for my Grandson with Autism!!!! I'm not sure if other Pools have similar Accommodations because this was my VERY First Time bringing my Grandson with Autism to the pool, so I am unfamiliar with the other Pools policy and accommodations for Autistic Children, but the fact that THEY WERE Kind enough to let me KNOW that they were available to help me IF I NEEDED ASSISTANCE, is wha t makes me have FAITH IN HUMANITY!!!!! I WILL go back and we had an Absolutely awesome day at Stapley Aquatic Center!!!!!

Very fun, all the lifeguards were very attentive. Very reasonably priced for 4 hours of fun . Is a high diving board. And there's two smaller ones. There is two different pools. One for a kiddie pool with Play area with slide. Then there's also another slide for a bigger kids and then there's a whole another pool. Everyone was very friendly. Every hour they did a safety check and asked everyone to get out reapply sunscreen, Grab some water.

We love the diving boards, the beach entry pool, and the slide! Great pool to spend the afternoon or a couple hours in. Great place for a play date!
