I heard the pool has swim lessons. We just enjoyed the splash pad and playground. I love that I could sit at one table and see both of the play areas so my older kid could run back and forth from playground to splash pad. There was shade, lots of grass, restrooms, and plenty of parking.

I like that the splash pad and playground are close to each other…read more Went in the afternoon and the bathrooms were disgusting. There was fecal matter on the toilet and it smelled horrendous inside the bathrooms. Plus there's very little lighting in there making it really hard for a small child to use.

Safe opportunity to taste the fizzy water yourself. . About 15 people were there. Kids love it. + Peaceful, pleasant neighborhood. . No one works at the lil VC booth. + Only a 1min drive from Octagon Springs Park, where you can safely taste the carbonated water yourself (42°39'35.7"N 111°36'09.7"W). + Octagon Springs Park's restroom is well-equipped. . Tip: If you're extra cautious about the travertine overspray (never can anticipate the wind's frivolity), the Dinkey Engine is a safe parking distance away, only a 2min walk. Thank you, Tom Scott!

If you're visiting the Mt West hoping to visit gems like Wind Cave or Lewis and Clark Caverns SP and are disappointed to realize the spots fill out early, here's a fantastic consolation: scrambling around the boulders of the fascinating Caves Trail caves. + Peaceful place to camp safely too. Not too far into the wilderness away from infrastructure. - Seemed to be few restrooms or water throughout the Loop Rd though. + Glad there's a lavatory and trash bins at Caves Trail parking though. - Virtually no shade throughout the monument.
