DQ Dragon· 2 months agoThe pools were nice 12ft diving pool they let my daughter jump off we left for lunch and went to the park they let us back in until 7:30
Donna· 6 years agoNice place. Lap, diving and separate kid play area. Water wheelchair ramp, nice walk-in bars for those needing assistance getting in the water. Jan 2020 was $3 to swim.
CactusKiwi1· 4 months agoI’ve come here twice with my kids for the splash pad and both times they let me pay, and then only afterwards told me that there wouldn’t be enough lifeguards to open the splash pad. Both times I was issued a voucher/raincheck instead of a refund which I’ll probably never be able to use. The second time we went, I had even called ahead and asked about the splash pad being open, and they told me that it would be.
Traci Wiesmeth· a month agoQuiet pool, less crowded, has a splash pad so very kid friendly
Stephen G· 4 months agoVery nice facility. Delightful staff. Lots of programs. It's really a hidden gem. I see no advertising of it's programs or facilities. It's like punta Gorda wants to keep it for itself.
