10 lanes, 50 meters, always a lane for swimming laps; Diving pool, toddler pool, splash pad (spray park), climbing wall, water slide concession stand, all contained in beautiful Forest Park.

This place is awesome. They have a toddler area, with a frog slide and fountain shooters. There is an entire area of giant sprinklers and sprayers. There is a pool solely for divers, and another for regular people. There are huge locker rooms and showers, and a big concession building with food and drinks. It's pretty busy, but big enough to accommodate everyone and it doesn't ever get to the point where it's frustrating. Definitely our summer spot for my daughter.

My children worked here. The place was hot following child labor laws. When I called them out on it they gave me excuse after excuse. I called the DOL who found they didn't have work permits, time clocks, or records of breaks (because they weren't giving the kids breaks or paying them when they had to stay over their shift to help close up). After that they stopped schedule my children, taking it out on them because they were mad they got caught not following child safety laws. Do not let your child work here.

It's a nice place to be with your family as long as you watch them. The lifeguards on duty don't pay any attention to what's going on and they play on their phones most of the time. Went there spent maybe an hour and got rained out. Tried talking to someone over the phone due to everyone being rushed out per the storm and they keep hanging up and ignoring my questions about either a refund or allowing us to reuse the same bracelet to reenter the next day... think investing in own pool to have a better time..

This place was great!!! Great zero entry pool for toddlers with toddler playscape. Great prices with discount pricing after a certain time. Splash pad, diving boards. I just wish there was a family changing room, I didn't see one and as a mom being there with three young kids of different genders I had to leave my 6 year old boy outside alone while I changed with my girls. Only complaint!!!

We arrived at the aquatic center at 5pm today (closes at 8pm on Saturday). We were able to use the water slide one time before it closed for the day. My daughter was really bummed. The rock wall, rope swing, and such were closed, nowhere to be seen. There was no indication by anyone upon arrival that any part of the aquatic center would be closed.

PS- Bathrooms were atrocious.

This pool is alot of fun for the whole family, it is clean and the life guards really work hard at their jobs. The only thing I wish is that they would open the platforms back up. The diving boards are nice and so is the waterslide.

Lovely park, nice paved paths, two playgrounds. Seems like they are always mowing and kicking up dust clouds with no regard for kids on the playground or people using shelters to grill for family events, general public use...
The man mowing even idled the mower so he could pick up a discarded gatorade bottle simply to throw it back onto the ground nearer the tree base. There are numerous trash and recycling receptacles yet he chose to re-litter.

Paid $30 to get in and had to put towels on the ground to sit on. There were several chairs being occupied by towels but none free and it wasn t even that busy. My husband tried to sit on one of the plastic chairs that weren t taken and it instantly broke. We have never had this problem at the Monon even on their busiest of days. We enjoy lounging by the pool while the kids play in the water and since that seems difficult to do here I m not sure we will be back.

Most of the splash park features suitable for 6 and under are broken. You'd think with the money that Noblesville claims to invest in their parks services that they'd invest to upkeep them. Wonder what the trail they're sacrificing the train for will look like a few years after it's built...

I could sum up this review two words... diving boards! They are so hard to find in today's world. They have a normal height board and a high dive. The water is super clean. It is rarely busy so you don't have to wait in a long line to dive. They have plenty of shady spots to sit. There is a snack bar. The lap pool is olympic-length. The water slide is short but fun. They have a huge Kiddie area too. We love this place.

A hidden gem of family a cheap family entertainment. The pool area is divided into 4 areas based on the depth of the pool. Some features include water sprinkling play structures, a water slide and a few diving boards making this pool appropriate for all ages. There are plenty of life guards on duty at any given point, plenty of shaded areas for the parents and a conveniently located concession. Parking is close and plenty. Admission is $5 per person, but is reduced to $3, if you are visiting the pool after 5pm.

As soon as we paid $24 within seconds the lightening sirens went off. We didn t even make it through the gates to the pool because they asked everyone to leave the pool area. They have an hour wait to reopen pool. No refund or rain check offered. They were shocked that I was even asking for a refund after a 5 second purchase. We were told we would need to wait it out. We waited it out for 2 hours and they still refused to work out some kind of refund or rain check. In addition to this, the staff is so unprofessional and downright rude. Anytime you make fun and laugh at clients, and I saw all of them making fun at people, you should not be in front of any kind of clients at all. The people that go there and pay money is really what keeps places like this open. I understand they are Not-for-Profit but their clients money partly pays for staff. When your staff loses sight of that, then it s time for management to overhaul and put people in the right places. I m one person with one family, but I know many; if you think I would ever return there or tell people to ever go there after what I saw today. Never! *I do want to add, a supervisor did contact me and listened to my concerns and offered a refund.

Upset to find the pool was closed. Called before and was told it was open. Drove 45 minutes to find it had been closed all day because it was too cold. 77 degrees outside now. People in the pool diving. Bull...

This place is a shadow of what it used to be. Last time I was here, half the pool was closed off due to lack of lifeguards. Many people were crowded into a smaller place.

It is not the cheapest place either. I'd just check out Carmels Mono aquatic park or Kokomo Beach.

terrible place to go with the family most ladders are held together by bungee cords and wood. while I was in the establishment we tried to complain to a manger but there was none there. If you live in this area I suggest going to the Carmel monon center. While it is an extra two dollars it is way safer.

This was our first experience at the Forest Park Aquatic Center and we were unfortunately severely disappointed. It was very expensive and was so boring my kids were ready to leave in an hour. The pool was dirty, the frog slide in the kiddie area had green algae growing on it and the Fast Freddy slide wasn't operating.

Wonderful time. Rules are not restrictive to fun as so many public pools are. Concessions were very affordable, so nice not being price gouged while taking my family out to do have a fun day. Rare thing nowadays! 2 thumbs up!

Fairly nice place but way too pricey! It would have been $18 for my 15 month old daughter, my father (who I mentioned wasn't going to swim with us) and I. For that amount of money, I would expect the swimming pools and locker rooms to be of better quality. Finally, the three teenagers who were attending the entrance were quite rude towards me. It's not a bad place but could use some work!

Really love this pool! Nice center....but there is always leaves in the pool. Like I know there's trees everywhere but y'all can clean better. Just saying. Other than that I really enjoy this park. Great for families and I love how they have huge umbrellas so your able to have shade when needed.

I would like to respond to O Dell. First and foremost I take care of my staff very well. It s unfortunate that you felt the need to call the DOL instead of talking to us first. Also you did not get any excuses. Your daughter was scheduled two shifts and an extra 2 hours for training at the end which we told you was paid. I also told you had we been able to do the training on June 1st but couldn t due to our school shooting we wouldn t have run into this situation. We have always paid the kids straight time which means they get paid for their breaks and lunches but that has now changed. I m sure the kids would all like to thank you personally. Anyone can come in here and ask my staff how they like working here and would bet they would all say they love it. We now have work permits, time clock and everything we need to be compliant so thank you. I Give kids a chance to have their first job at 14 when most wont. Most of my front desk staff don t even work over a 4 hr shift at a time but this has changed our age of hire for next year so on behalf of all my staff again thank you.
