Our friend had a birthday party for her child and she rented the air conditioned shelter house which was furnished with two bathrooms. Sink, refrigerator,i believe stove with oven and plenty of tables and chairs.... While there we was able enjoy a round of 18 hole putt putt golf which was fun and i thought was worth the couple of bucks to play and the kids liked that it had its challenges and not so easy as most they have played.. After wards we awe cooled off at the pool just a few dollars more .... Talk about a fun cheap family quality and friendly day experience... Plus not to mention the free play ground park. Public restrooms and access to open shelter houses basketball court ball fields and golf course...

It's Nice & The Water Is Warm. But I'm A Little Upset With How They Told My 7 Year Old Son He Couldn't Go Down The Slide Because He Was Less Than A Inch Under The Height Requirement But The Moment They Closed The Parking Lot Was Still Full Of Customers Leacing They Wasted No Time To Go Play. I Understand The Staff Is Young But Professionally They Should Be Leading By Example Not Climbing Up The Side Of The Slide, Running Up &'d Down, Riding Floats That Aren't Even Allowed In The Kiddie Pool Much Less The Big Slide. An My 2 Year Old Nephew Had A Accodent & My Sister Was Going To Clean It She Just Wanted To Inform A Worker An Yet The Whole Staff Made A Point To Make A Whole Scene...
