Very much needed professional lifeguards it’s not good just sitting on their tails. Need to take it much more seriously The time of closing is ridiculous 5 or 645 come on now you can do better than this

It's cheap and a fun place to hang out, but some of the lifeguards don't watch carefully enough, and it's unsanitary. One time when I was little, i was unsure if I should jump off the diving board without a floatie. I mentioned that there was lifeguards nearby just in case, and a lifeguard said "im not getting you if you start drowning." I was only like 8. One time a kid pooped in the pool, all they did was evacuate us and then let us get back in 15 mins later. Yuck...

I was pleasantly surprised it looked great, only wish the life guards were a little more attentive, i did see one young guard paying great attention to the swimmer. Overall it was great the pool was so CLEAN
