Family Memberships
A family includes anyone residing in the same household. Children under age 4 require a pass to be able to scan into the facility; however there is no charge for this. Youth under age 11 must be accompanied by a supervisor.
Streambed
Flowing water over boulders makes for a water play experience that is ideal for toddlers and preschoolers.
Sand Play
Sand can be made into anything you want it to be. Children can use the sand toys and their imagination to create castles and more. This area is shady in the late afternoon.
Vortex
This swirling area of water provides resistance for water walking or a splash of fun. NO lifejackets in this area.
Wet Deck
Adults can dip their toes in the water from the comfort of a chair in the zero-depth entry area of the recreation pool. Please leave the wet deck chairs in the pool. First-come first serve.
Slides
You must be at least 48" tall to ride any waterslide.
Please leave all the following items at ground level as they are not allowed on the slides: goggles, glasses/sunglasses, keys, phones, lifejackets, necklaces or dangling jewelry, watches, locker keys. (Other items may also be on this list. Attendants can ask you to remove them or cover them at their discretion.)
An attendant will tell you when it is safe to begin your ride.
- Green- This slide has an open top and exits in 3 1/2 feet of water. This is our slowest slide.
- Blue - This is an enclosed tube slide that exits in 3 1/2 feet of water. This is our mid-speed slide.
- Teal - This drop slide exits into 12 feet of water. It is fast! You must be able to swim in 12 feet of water to ride this slide.
Diving Board
Many aquatic facilities have eliminated diving boards from their plans. Ours has one and you can enjoy a jump any time during public swim. M/W 6 - 7 p.m., diving well closed due to aerobics class.
Climbing Wall
The climbing wall extends over the diving well and challenges folks to make it to the top. And whether you do or not, you just drop back down into the water at the end of your climb. You must be able to swim in deep water to use this feature.
Lap Lanes
Lap swimming for exercise remains popular and the competition pool is used not only for the district’s Nadiators summer swim team, there are lap swim times in the early morning and over the lunch hour. There are eight lap lanes. Three lanes remain open during public swim.
