Pro Tips

  1. 1.Arrive early during open swim times (within 15 minutes of opening) to snag poolside seating and avoid the afternoon rush, especially on hot summer days
  2. 2.Sign up for swim lessons early in the season as they fill quickly,typically registration opens in late May
  3. 3.Bring your own snacks and drinks in a cooler to save money, but check current outside food policies at the front desk
  4. 4.Pack water shoes for kids as the pool deck can get hot during peak afternoon sun
  5. 5.Weekday mornings are significantly less crowded than weekends, making them ideal for younger children or those new to swimming

Best Time to Visit

Weekday mornings between 10am-12pm offer the perfect balance of smaller crowds and comfortable temperatures. The pool is warmest in July and August, but early June and late August provide a more relaxed atmosphere with fewer visitors while still enjoying beautiful weather.

What to Know

Outside food is generally permitted, though confirm current policies. Standard pool rules apply: swim diapers required for non-potty-trained children.

Seasonal Notes
