What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews present a mixed experience, with many finding the park fun and fantastic for kids and adults, appreciating the large pools, slides, and vigilant lifeguards, often without feeling overly crowded. However, significant concerns are raised, primarily regarding ongoing issues with the locker room showers (freezing cold for men, excessively hot for women), which is acknowledged by management but unresolved. The food service also draws criticism for high prices, inconsistent quality (e.g., stale fries), and long wait times due to understaffing. Some visitors expressed disappointment over the perceived removal of water features, making it feel less varied, while outdoor seating and lockers are noted as needing updates.

A little disappointed. We didn't realize that they removed most of the water features so it's really just a big swimming pool. There are still things for younger kids but all and all kinda a bust. Also, I was very surprised that there was no one there on Memorial Day weekend. The last time we went there was a line to get in but today (Sunday, Aug. 31st) we had it to ourselves.
The main pool was large and warm. There are two large slides and two splash pads. We were expecting more but it worked for the needs of our family. The outdoor seating and lockers need to be updated.
My son loves this place (8yr old). The slides are great. Good food. A great way to spend a hot summer day.
Really fun! I hadn't been since I was a kid and I took my daughter's there. A lot has changed but they had a great time!! Time flew by! We spent like 5 hrs there! They have slides, many pools. Even with all the kids camps there it didn't feel too crowded. The snack bar is really lacking is my only negative. There were two boys working hard with a small line but they needed help BAD. The small line I was in start to finish took about 45 min 😬 I was patient because they were doing their best but MGMT needs to care about this place too. Ppl get hungry and hangry.
The park itself is fantastic! We love this place and have had great experiences in the past. However, this year, the water in the men's locker room was freezing cold at all times—whether it was evening, noon, or morning. It was fine last year and the year before. I spoke to a manager, and it seems this is an ongoing issue. The next day, we visited the park in the morning and encountered the same problem. It's unreasonable to ask people to shower before entering the water when the showers don't work properly. The situation is completely opposite in the women's locker room, where the water is sometimes extremely hot. This park has great potential, but these issues need addressing. Regarding the food, I ordered chicken wings and french fries on both Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday, the french fries were very old—not crunchy but oily and soft, making them inedible. Additionally, the food is very expensive. It appears there's a lack of quality control. On the positive side, the lifeguards are always vigilant, which is very reassuring. The park is amazing for kids and even adults. Don’t get me wrong, the park is fantastic—you just need to fix the showers. Last year, this place was amazing, but this year the issues with the showers are disappointing. I'm not sure if I will visit again, as I can't force my 5-year-old kids to shower with freezing cold water.
