Reviewers describe a splash pad, a slide, a toddler wading area and a deep pool, with plenty of lifeguards and a big car park. Public swim sessions are short and capacity is limited, so several advise arriving well before the session starts to get in and get a seat.
This 13-acre park hides a genuine aquatic center with three pools and two tall curving water slides that land in a catch pool — a rare free-spirited splash spot in the South Bay. The 25-yard pool has lanes and a diving board for stronger swimmers, while little ones stick to the shallow end. Slide season is summer, so call to confirm open-swim hours before you load up the towels.

The 2025 season has started and is spectacular at this pool. We had the best time. The community of parents and children and lifeguards and admin are and inclusive. Thank you! Older review from 2024 is below We came here for a birthday party in 2024. It was one of the best parties we have attended so far. However, the Pool has very limited opening hours for public access. Guests need to arrive half an hour early. The pool itself is awesome. It has splash pad, the pool and a long slide.

Amazing little water park for the kids. The times we have gone it's always clean and friendly staff. Family friendly environment. Plenty of life guards on site. Parking it's big. Come with time sometimes there is a line and limit capacity
