I have been at the pool the last 3 weekends (4 Xs total) this Summer and it is truly 5 stars! The check in is super easy. I paid $5 each time (a discount for C.Hill) residents as well as your guest. They do take cash or card which is convenient. The line is never long, really non existent most of the time. Parking is a breeze especially if you get there for open swim which begins at 12 noon. The majority of the lounge chairs are shaded and you don't have to worry about anyone taking/moving your belongings as you enjoy the water. The lazy river is extremely clean and well kept and the floaties are in abundance and FREE! Everyone is respectful in the pool! At any given time there can be newborn babies to the seniors and every age in between so being courteous is just as important as having fun! The music is great too! They play EVERYTHING including Spanish songs on Cedar Hill Tunes. There is one lazy river, one slide which is so much fun and never a long line, as well as a larger pool that is wheelchair assessable too. It was in this pool that my BF taught me to swim this Summer so the Cedar Hill Lagoon will forever be memorable to me! They also have about 7 cabanas that you can rent out for your private event. The bathrooms have great air flow and are pretty well kept with no trash on the ground an I definitely appreciated the cleanliness. They also have showers too. The lifeguards are also professional and they appear to have fun too. There is food available if you get hungry. A CH police officer does make his/her round at the pool too so it definitely makes you feel safe an at ease. I hope the Lagoon continues to be a fun, clean, memorable place for my future summers!

The grounds are very nice and well maintained, and the pricing is very reasonable. Unfortunately,…read morethe staff was a disappointment. The rifle range master was extremely rude, making faces and acting annoyed with anyone who wasn't as experienced as he was. The pistol range master was more relaxed, and he did become friendlier toward the end. Inside the shop, most of the staff were not much better--although one gentleman and one lady were pleasant. LADIES BEWARD: This range is not for women, or at least that is the way they made me feel. The range is not feel very welcoming. It's a shame, because there aren't many outdoor ranges in the area. I always believed a range should be a place to learn, practice, and feel comfortable, but that wasn't the case here. I was embarrassed because I was the one who recommended it to my group.
