If I could give this joke of an establishment zero stars I would. It’s ran by 16 year olds who like to complain about everything and there was a lifeguard outside who was nearly 60 arguing with my husband about our son going down the water slide and my husband being at the bottom of the water slide to catch our boy because NO lifeguard was at the bottom of the slide or in the water, keep in mind they’ve went down the slide while my husband was at the bottom to catch them 100x. I also seen a little boy fall down and one of the young lifeguards watched it happen and didn’t even ask the little guy if he was ok. I did. And the concession stands weren’t open. Do better. Hire nicer employees that actually care about others and have some human decency. We Will never come back here. SMH.

I guess you have to be a member to swim there on weekends and they only open the pool at 12 so I wouldn't recommend if you're trying to swim there.
