Elm Ridge Park — Attraction in Rocky Hill

I'll start by saying it's a nice pool. I went with my 7 yr old & my mother in the afternoon, around 430-5pm. The pool was not crowded at all &my daughter could stand & play. Lifeguards on watch constantly. To go to the deep end you must pass a swimming test first. My only serious complaint is that patrons are NOT instructed to RINSE before entering the pool.

That is the only way she stays a float. Get a grip. They also say they dont allow balls in the adult or kid pool even though they have 100+ ducks floating in it as well as tiny balls that get caught in the filter. Also telling grown men during adult swim to not shove eachother and keep their hands to theirselves. Oh yeah and no goggles with noses on them. Lmfao. Any other rules? No thanks.
