There is a snake bar and area on the main pool deck next to the life guards office. The wading pool adds a triangle canopy, protecting babies from the rays.<br \/>\nThe medium pool was relocated few yards from the old one: filling the old hole and digging a new one. Lots of work.<br \/>\nThe water slide opens at certain time of the day.<br \/>\nThe lazy river looks really delicious, so is the kiddie pool.<br \/>\nThe locker\/shower room is updated. An additional bathroom was built. The ground floor snake room adjacent to the rink is renovated \u2013 the home of the gold medal figure skater Sarah Hughes. A new flat screen TV was mounted on the wall high above the fireplace. The old skate shop was moved.<br \/>\nOver all, the flow is nice.<br \/>\nLifeguards are mixed with college, college grads and high schoolers. The pool opens from Memorial Day (or June 1 or so) to Labor Day, first Monday in September.
