Fun pool for everyone. There are no toys supplied so bring your own balls and floats. There are a few Adirondack style chairs on the deck, but there truly are only a few so I recommend bringing your own chairs or towels to relax on. There are 3 water slides that appeal to different age groups and swim abilities: pre-school, younger elementary school aged kids, and older elementary school aged kids/young teens. This is a chlorine pool, which some may find surprising as it is on the shore of Second Beach. There are nice, organized lanes to swim in if you would like to work out.

There are warm, outdoor showers within the pool area but the change rooms are outside the pool, next to the food kiosk. There is not a lot of shade to be had so if that is import to you, bring an umbrella/beach shelter. You are allowed to bring your own picnic into the pool area and you can come and go if you get your hand stamped. There are drinking fountains near the pool entrance.

This is very economical family fun... parents and children can visit for just over $3 per person. Punch passes are available for multiple visits and I believe season passes are as well.

The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because it is somewhat inconvenient for the bathrooms and change rooms to be outside of the pool site, but they are only a few paces away.
