I have attended this pool for several years, daily. I want to thank them for an inviting, clean and entertaining place to exercise. This pool ha so very much to offer from toddlers to adults as well as safety vest, free to use, for those who love water but are not strong swimmers. The staff has been consistently well train, attentive and friendly. They supply noodles and soft larges balls for kids. There are water slides-one large and one for toddlers in the shallow section, water spouts, a whirlpool vortex and a lazy river which I like to walk-with the current and against. Marci teaches a great aerobics course on Tues. and Thurs. There are water jets that make bubbly water and a bench to sit on if your back needs some jet water action. The staff are consistently welcoming and friendly. Arron, Priscilla, Michelle George, Lindsey, Brianna, Sterling, Garrison, Christian, Carly, Samantha, Austin, Ariel, Patrick, Johnny and the other members of the staff are attentive , friendly and work to keep this a wonderful place to be. Thank you!!!

Ive grown up around this park and i have loved this park form the beginning but now we have a pool! before i became a lifeguard there i loved everything about it. As soon as i was old enough to get a job there i took my chance and got the job. Ever since i worked there i made and met new friends almost everyday no matter if it was other employees, patrons, or old friends that i havent seen in a long time. Its been a great first job and the best experience in my life. If i could find my first job over again i wouldnt have it any other way.

Avoid this pool and go to Optimist instead. They can make you wait over 2 hours just to get in. They have no management system to make things fair on busy days. The people in the pool can stay as long as they want, while those waiting just sit outside in the hot sun until they call your name. The pool coat $3 more per person than other Raleigh pools just for a water slide and they dont even warn you that it is often not open, even on busy Saturdays.

Too many rules, lifeguards constantly telling adults thing not to do even when you are one of 5 people in the entire place. No ones safety was in question, but I were constantly nagged while playing with my daughter. Sir, she cant stand there or sir you cant be in this area of the pool while the slide is on (no one at the pool) or sir do you see that sir, she cant jump from there etc etc. It was constant, again no one was in any harm ever.

First of all, you can not actually swim at this pool. All we heard from time we got there to the time we left was the life guards stating what you cant do. I understand there all rules in place for safety reasons but for $7, I should be able to swim laps around the whole damn pool if I choose too. First and very last time coming here.

Its really nice mini water park, but the amount of chlorine will suffocate you. Your eyes and nose burn even if you dont get wet. Poor kids cant even stand it. We left after 20 min, and didnt even take time to change. We needed to get out and get fresh air!

Great Pool area to play in when there is no wait. There is a very strong chlorine smell inside the pool area. I have been here about 5 times and 4 of them were good while in my last visit we waited almost an hour to get in because they were "over capacity"

Nice small water park; my kids enjoyed. Keep in mind that you cant really swim much but can play with kids. Chlorine levels were high and I had a burning sensation in my eyes later. Plus seems like they select guards who will never even try to smile.

Dont bother. Although this place is only several years old, it feels rundown and needing remodeling. Have you every been to a hotel that had an indoor pool squirreled away in the depths of the building? Thats what this place is like.

I really like the pool sometimes its full. Its really fun and I like the water slide but when its full you have to wait for like 2 hours. It would be fair if they let the people swim for like 2 hours and then let the new people get in.

Expensive and they gripe too much. 2 stars for price and when no one is even here they tell us we cant be in the lap pool. Then some kids go and play volleyball in the same spot for hours with out saying a word.

Life guards are more worried about blowing the whistle then watching the kids . If an adult is playing with their kid , leave them alone !! Watch for drowning kids instead !

Chlorine is way too strong here. So much so that it irritates my throat and nose just sitting watching kids.
