About

Featuring slides and concessions, this public pool has activities for kids of all ages.

The facility explicitly features a 'warm-water pool,' indicating a temperature range intended for comfort, therapeutic use, and swim lessons rather than competitive swimming. Specific numerical temperatures are not publicly listed, but the designation implies it is maintained at a higher temperature than typical recreational or lap pools.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool is largely praised as a fun summer destination, offering a variety of slides for all ages, multiple diving boards, ample play space, and a good concession stand. While some visitors have had very positive experiences with the lifeguard staff, noting their helpfulness in retrieving lost items and effectiveness in emergencies, there are significant and recurring concerns about lifeguard professionalism. These include observations of lifeguards wearing inappropriate attire (hoodies, towels), being distracted, engaging in silly behavior, and a very negative incident involving a head guard. The reviews suggest a need for improved lifeguard training and supervision, advising parents to remain vigilant due to these varied staff experiences.

The features are so fun -- my kids loved the drop slides! It's nice to be able to see the whole pool from one spot. However, the lifeguards had me pretty concerned -- wearing hoodies and towels, not paying good attention, whistling at each other being silly. We had no personal issues with any guards; they might just consider a more rigorous lifeguard program or better training. In summary, parents should definitely pay close attention to your own kiddos!

Very fun pool with lots of stuff to do. Six very different slides, for ages ranging newborn to 100. Three different driving boards, one of them being a platform dive which scares everyone. Lots of room to play in the pool as well. A very nice concession stand that has a variety of goodies to fuel your day at the pool.

Just want to thank the 2024 lifeguard crew. Today they helped me find my Fitbit in the deep end after it came off during a dive. Very cool I didn't have to replace this $160 watch. Love this pool and the vibe and love bringing my family here.

These lifeguards rock ! My son cracked his head open and the staff stitched him up right then and there ! The lifeguard, Delaney, was beautiful! She made my summer great. 😊 The head guard Braylon however, is a whole other story. He pushed my kid off the platform because he was scared to jump. And when he was on his way down Braylon called him a loser. Overall great experience.
