Lake Eva Aquatic Center — Attraction in Haines City

Nice little pool to visit with the family. $5 for anyone over 2. There are covered areas with tables but they are very limited so arrive early to get a shady spot. If not you will likely be sitting on the grass. Kid friendly slide and even a concession stand for food inside. Unfortunately no outside food allowed. The splash park and kiddie area are the best parts if you have small children. Lots of fun places to play with water. Adults are usually the challenge. I do wish there was someone to provide some sort of order and direction. Example: While we were there a family hoarded 5 lounge chairs and a table for the kids under the shaded area. We asked if would could use (just USE) a lounge chair for our things since none of the chairs commandeered by that family were actually being used. They were storing flip flops and towels and one was completely empty to which they informed me was theirs also even though empty. The family was appalled that I even asked but the matriarch, begrudgingly, gave me a lounge chair while her family went into a rage of anger and started cussing at her in another language. That's more of a people problem than a facility problem but seems that a few additional seating areas and reminders to be civil and share the facility wouldn't hurt. Not sure if that's a deal breaker for me but certainly something I will consider...

Overall pretty good there is a splash pad, kiddie pool, and a big pool. They swapped the yellow tube slide for a double red open top slide. The large blue slide is not that fast and the kona ice from the snack stand is not the best (in my personal opinion} but its overall a good place to come with friends or family generally you will not see many little kids in the big pool so the big pool is great for teens or older children. The kiddie pool gets about 2 feet deep at the deepest and there is a small half water filled tunnel a bucket that spills, and a lot of splashers, if you or your kids are not planning on getting wet all over your face and head I don't reccomend the kiddie pool. The splash pad looks like fun for little kids the kiddie pool also seems great. If there is lighting pretty close they will tell you before I enterd they said that there was lighting 14 miles away and if it goes to ten miles away the pool will close temporarily untill it has cleared (half an hour from last lightning strike}. My only issue was that the lifeguards looked kind of young like late teens. Honestly a great place cant wait to come back...

I've heard about this place for a couple of years and never went! I've been missing out! We went for a family summer day and easily spent 4 hours enjoying the amenities. Just $5 to get in, fun splash pad, water playground area with water falls, and that slide is soo fun! The pool area that said 5' felt deeper than it was, and the water was a bit warmish. I preferred relaxing in the kids area on the edge, yes, even with a ton of kids running around. Maybe the sounds of the water falls helped 😂 The food was decent hotdogs $4, hamburger $5, drinks were like $2 I think (we brought in our reusable water bottles), and chips and packaged icecream were $1-$3 I think. Plenty of seating but I'd definitely make sure to come early to secure the spots you want depending on where you'll spend the most time...
