It’s open all the time almost so lifeguards work hard I love the lazy river and the diving bounds and drop off

Water is nice and there's a good amount of space. Very good facility for such a small town.

For a small town, this is an awesome place to have access to! I have two children with a bit of an age span in between them, but they are both able to have plenty of fun here. I love the zero depth entry and splash pad area for the little ones, and the fish slide is a huge hit with my youngest (though it is currently out of commission; hope it will be fixed!). My older son is a big fan of the slides. I personally love the lazy river! The lifeguards there are super attentive, so I know my kids are safe at all times. We live in town, and I am very thankful to have this as a summer fun option!

This place is a joke.first off, the pictures you see make this place look way bigger than it actually is. It’s a glorified community pool. One of the managers gave my friend’s kid a swim test, and made her cry because she didn’t swim EXACTLY the way he wanted, even though she did the strokes correctly (i watched, and was a competitive swimmer in high school). The managers get off on making children cry, it’s disgusting. They threatened to call the police on my family because we were unhappy with how they treated the kids. Steer clear of this place unless you want your kids traumatized.

Love bringing my friends and family here! Staff is great and properly enforces rules to make sure everyone is safe. Kudos to the staff and I’ll be bringing my kids back.

Great facility! Very clean and tidy! Lifeguards are informed and friendly I love the fish slide and animal flotation devices! Really great place for some family fun? Highly recommend

Beware the lazy river.

Was there for 2 and a half hours kids swimming in deep end and using slides. Then a life guard requested they do a swimming test or get out of the deep end, after they had all ready been swimming in deep end. Not fair to test a child after almost 3 hours of swimming there muscles would be tired. Not to mention there were others without wristbands and couldn't swim near as well as others. I believe I was subjected to discrimination as I wanst from pella. Will never return to this park. Save your time and money!

I don’t where to start. Absolutely amazing! Every time I come here I am astounded at how quickly admissions works along! The management is fantastic. I spoke with one of the guards whilst they were coming off break and he was so respectful and guaranteed our safety. I was able to sit back and relax knowing my child would be well “guarded” ;) in the water. There was a tall man with dark hair that was bringing water around to the guards. The pool had just announced they would be closing due to low attendance. I asked him what that entailed and he explained to me they had announced just the lazy river was closing! Oopsies! Quite the lavish young man I must say. Never the less my little girl had the greatest time splashing around with her friends. I would definitely recommend for anyone on the fence about going.

The outside looked very nice while I was waiting for my wife and son to get done with the swimming class
