From the reviews

…A lap pool as well and rock climbing, which is just 5 dollars extra . They also had an indoor playground and two basketball courts . A gym and a walking track upstairs and friendly faces. I can't stress enough. This was amazing and I highly recommend this place

★★★★★ — Jen, Jul 2025

…They have a pool for lap swimming, a splash pad for the smaller kids. A water slide with a height requirement. They have like a very small lazy river. No tubes, just a walking area there. They have a hot tub in the center of the lazy river. The hot tub is the same temperature as the pool.

★★★★★ — Angela, Jun 2026

Better than the YMCA. Rock wall, all the equipment, lap pool + a lounge pool, lazy river, slide, bbal court. Great place, and cost effective
