But the prices were reasonable and the kids would have stayed there until closing if I had let them. And you can bring your own coolers, etc. If I had known that I would have brought lunch and let my kids stay longer
Just moved to the Ftw area not too long ago. My little guy and I decided to try this place out today, and i was very glad we did. It was crowded, but plenty of chairs and room to play. My son is 9 w/ some special needs. Other kids and life guards were awesome and my son had a blast. All races, ages and body types there. Will definitely go again!
Positives - I liked the fact it had areas for older children and younger kids. The older boys really enjoyed the slides. I also liked that you could bring in your own food, drinks, and even small lawn chairs. The place seemed very family friendly as well, which is something they should continue. There were people in the pool chairs, or on the lawn if they wanted to be, lounging under the trees. I also liked that you can rent a locker, and they give you most of the money back (minus one dollar) when you turn in the key.
Cant beat the prices. I like that i can take my own cooler. Perfect for my 2 year old. Life guards are a bit lazy tho.
Lots of lifeguards everywhere, and it seemed like a very relaxed atmosphere. When I went to pay I was a little surprised that they didn't verify that my baby had a swim diaper and plastic pants (per CDC regulations). The restrooms were also kind of dumpy and there were not changing stalls - only toilet stalls and shower stalls. The changing table was almost falling off the wall, so I didn't really feel comfortable changing my baby in the bathroom.
We went during the week so it was probably less crowded. My six kids of all ages (10months-13years) loved it. We got to rent a life jacket for $3 (with refundable $10 deposit) which I felt was reasonable, and helped me feel like my preschooler was safer in the water.
I recently visited this park after looking for something to do to get the kiddos out of the house (11, 9, 9 mos). The reviews were great and after living in the area for years I couldn't believe I didn't know about it, so we gave it a try.
Negatives - The park is a bit small, too small for all the people that were there. It was quite crowded, but maybe it is because it was father's day weekend. There was also a family reunion being held in the center, so many of the reunion members were at the park. The thing that bothered me the most was the fact that it wasn't as clean as I expected from the reviews. I know it was a large crowd, however the park really needs to set some boundaries for where food can be consumed. A food only area would suffice fine. I kid you not, there were kids eating bags of chips in the toddler area. The craziest thing I saw was an entire family sitting with their chairs in the water, eating a box of pizza. Like one of the ladies was eating out of the box, and she shared pieces with the rest of the family. IN. THE. WATER. Then, my son was in the lazy river, and a baby diaper floated by and hit him in the back. After this we were pretty much done for the day. I'm not too sure we will be back.
I think this would be a great place if they set a capacity, enforce no changing rules, clean it up a bit, and make the swimming areas off limits for consuming food and drink.
It was a horrible experience. Absolutely racist. We paid for a group people, over 30 people. They wouldn't let us play basketball but they let two white children play. They controlled where our group went, but let other white people move around as the pleased. It was a horrendous experience. I caught one of their lifeguards sleeping! SLEEPING ON THE JOB. Is that someone who is supposed to watching over??? This place needs to be shut down.
