Traveled from out of state and took a long hot walk to get to this giant pool. After standing in line for a security bag check, we were turned away because all parties must have a swimsuit on. Our kids were in suits ready to swim, and the parents were in regular clothes with plans to sit and watch them swim, but they wouldn't let us in. They require everyone in a bathing suit regardless. If you have any belongings, they must get locked up amd you need to bring your own padlock. This information would have been extremely helpful ahead of time. There is no signage to that effect. We also noticed that for a pool area as large as it was, there was zero shade to sit in. All chairs were in direct sun woth no umbrellas. Perhaps they mandate everyone to remain in the water and not out based on these rules.Big let down
MoreTraveled from out of state and took a long hot walk to get to the gian pool. After standing in a bag check lane, we were turned away because all parties must have a swimsuit. Kids were there to swim and parents watch but they wouldn't let us in. Belongings can be locked up but you have to bring your own long. Huge let down
MoreWe came here on a Saturday and spent time relaxing, watching a local baseball game. There are BBQs available if you fancy some outdoor cooking.
MoreLarge park with lovely trees, perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of the city and great place to people and dog watch.
MoreThe recently refurbished soccer field and athletic track are excellent and not too busy. The pro in general is a great community area, we love in particular the farmer market, but enjoying the grass on a summer day is also sublime
