What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this swimming facility are largely positive, highlighting it as a nice, often uncrowded place for families and children to cool off. Many appreciate the great, kind, and attentive staff, including lifeguards, and note the availability of lounge chairs and shaded lawn areas. Features like two main pools (ranging from 4-8 ft), a separate toddler pool, and diving boards are frequently mentioned. Some commend it as an amazing and affordable resource, particularly when swimming is free, noting it's less crowded than other options. However, there are notable criticisms. One reviewer described the pool as horrible, gross, warm, and excessively chlorinated, leading to eye irritation. Complaints also include a perceived abundance of rules, charging full price despite closed attractions (like a non-functioning splash pad or spray pools), limited operating hours (leading to long waits or short swimming times), and a feeling that the facility caters more to day camps than residents. Issues such as a lack of seating, shade, and particularly disgusting bathrooms were also raised by a negative reviewer. The snack bar was mentioned as possibly being cash-only.

We have a great time here every time. The staff is great, young adults from our community who watch over our little ones. They always treated us with kindness. Love it hear!

Nice place to bring the kids, get in the water, beat the heat. Not usually crowded. Lounge chairs available. Lawn area with afternoon shade to spread out on. Lifeguards on duty. No running.

What an amazing resource and to have the swimming free for the summer is fantastic we came on a Wednesday and they don't open up early you're definitely going to have to wait in line to get the bracelet at 1:30. They do have a snack bar it seems to be cash only but I'm not too sure. Will definitely be back. There are two pools that vary from 4 ft to 8 and there's a kid's area with a splash pad but at the moment it wasn't working when we were here.

Horrible. Gross, warm, salty, & totally chlorinated. So bad my eyes felt like fire. So many rules. I couldn't even give my son a piggy back through the water?? They charge you full price, even though the spray and kiddies pools are closed. Showed up at 3 and was told we had to wait for a 15 min break. The pool closed at 4? It's obviously more for the day camp then actual residents. So disappointed. No seating. No shade. No benuo. THEY NEED TO DO BETTER. The bathroom was Disgusting. Soo gross i expected so much better. A lot of better options in a 10 mile radius.

Nice mellow little pool! Two diving boards, separate toddler pool. Never over crowded and clean! My family and I have been going to this pool for 10 years off and on. Cheaper and less crowded than heather farms. Staff is very nice!
