Brandi· a month agoI love taking my kids here in the summer time. They loves the aquatics center. It is usually pretty crowded but there are a variety of things for kids to play with. I like that the area is zero entry so the edge is perfect for babies. They allow you to bring your own food and drinks. Snacks are a must with kids playing in the sun and water. ATMOSPHERE: Casual. Kid friendly. Clean. Shaded areas to sit and you can bring your own lawn chairs. There are also able lounge style beach chairs with umbrellas. The kiddy aquatics area is separate from the lap pool. There are ample lifeguards who seem attentive. They ensure to give breaks from the water and they do well at watching the weather. It do well at communicating any weather advisories. PROs- Cheaper admission on Sundays during the summer. CONs- I think it should be open for longer hours during the summer.

Darlene Mitchell· 3 years agoMy niece and nephew started swimming lessons this morning. I was very impressed by the way the children were grouped and the ratio of kids to instructors. It's a beautiful park, clean and well maintained. The kids had a great time and learned a lot.
