About

Water park featuring a playground and pool with a slide, diving board and climbing wall.

The lap pool is maintained at 82°F (28°C), the leisure pool at 87°F (31°C), and the hot tub is kept at 102°F (39°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Overall, the park and pool receive a mixed but generally positive reception. Many reviewers praise its cleanliness, good maintenance, and the friendly, competent staff and lifeguards, highlighting it as a great, spacious place for families. The season pass is often seen as good value. However, common criticisms include limited operating hours (especially winter closure and late summer opening), the lack of a cover leading to its seasonal limitations, and the high cost of certain items like goggles. Suggestions for improvement include adding more chairs and shade, and addressing the shallow landing of the water slide to prevent injuries.

Most stupidest thing that parks and rec have ever done was not cover any of it. It’s closed during the winter barely open during the summer Waste tax pays dollars.

I ❤️our pool. The lifeguards are mostly students from our community and they do an outstanding job of keeping everyone safe. It is great place for families to reconnect after a long school year. Thank you!

Great pool! It's so big you don't feel crowded. Only two things I'd say could use improvement, 1) needs more chairs and maybe some shade and 2) the water slide let's out in 3 feet of water. I took my 4 yr old down with me and scrapped my foot so bad, I thought I broke my toes. Thankfully I didn't, but ouch!
