Carolyn Jonasson· 5 months agoVisited the covered playground. It's a great place to let the kids run. They have slides and equipment for the littles up to preteens. Soft gym mat style ground padding too.
yesika diaz· 2 years agoIn the back of the park there is a playground with cover areas, some picnic tables and some sitting areas. Great park, plenty of parking. They don’t have a bathroom available but its a cute area to bring your kids. Highly recommended.
Abby Gray· 2 years agoWhat a joy to visit with our family. The pools and kid areas are very well maintained. Alert Life guards caring staff.
Canda Flores· 4 months agoThis was a must. The pools were the way to go when the temps were still making it into the 70's. They have driver's training, lane swimming, high and low diving area and a handicap accessible pool!
Tia & Ida Travels· 6 months agoNice center with alot of wellness offerings, swim lanes, playfield, track and more. Well maintained. Lots-of parking and easy to find.
