The little house with the green roof is a slide for the little ones (8 and under).
Karl F.

After you pay, you get a wrist band. Green if you're 48" and over and red if you're under 48". Pros: 1. You can bring your own food. 2. They sells affordable snacks and ice cream. 3. They offer lounge chairs and shade around the pool. 4. You can come in and out. 5. Lots of lifeguards. 6. Three types of slides, one tiny slide for the little ones, one long slide for the family, and one twirly slide for the big kids. 7. Large pavilion with tables and chairs 8. Large parking lot Cons: 1. Wish it was bigger. The pool seems small when it's crowded. 2. The "lazy river" isn't really a lazy river. 3. There is no deep end. The maximum depth is 3ft and 8". You can't jump off the waterfall. 4. The family bathroom's floor gets a bit flooded, the regular bathrooms are cleaner and better to be in. 5. The mini splash pad isn't interesting. Overall, I would recommend this pool. To avoid the crowds, I would get there when opens.

I love taking my kids here and they love going. There are two slides, a small rapids-like area, a beachy shallow area for the little guys, and lots of fun in between. We are residents so it only cost $6 for me and my two children to go. I think it costs a little bit more for non-residents but not much. Not too bad for an afternoon's fun.

Geared for younger than 12 group. Not deep enough for my teenagers and no room for laps. Great for little ones though.

They are amazing. U can ride the sides at any age but younger kids need adults to go with them.

The place is a lot of fun but the water was cloudy and dirty with clumps of hair floating around. Nasty, but kids loved it, lol.

This place is absolutely amazing. First of all, there is something for every age group and swim…read moreskill - a wading area for littles, a 2-4 foot deep area for medium-range swimmers, and a 6+ foot deep area for strong swimmers and adults. There's also a pretty cool slide and one of those "walk on floats across the water" things. My kids stayed for almost 2 hours and the only reason we left then is because they were starting to turn red from their sunscreen wearing off. The lifeguards were also great. We have gotten so used to overbearing lifeguards this summer who blow their whistles and yell nonstop and this was a nice change of pace. They were very patient with everyone, using normal speaking voices and only using whistles if someone was doing something dangerous. It made for a very relaxing and fun experience. The entry for kids is about standard ($3 each) and a bit higher than usual for adults ($6 each) but one of the benefits of this is that the place wasn't very crowded so we were able to have a good time without feeling cramped. We'll definitely be coming back again, kids and adults had a great time.

The staff at the front friendly and admission prices were very reasonable. Only downside is that there seemed to be a lack of chairs/loungers

Major construction projects are always a hassle and headache BUT Athena Pools removed all those worries. I love my pool and so do my kids. Jeff and Nate are true professionals in their craft!

He managed to maximize our space (odd shaped back yard) giving us what we wanted: A large pool with a substantial play area and a long lap lane for exercise purposes. Most importantly, he made sure that we had solid engineering construction for our pool size (about 33K gallons, ~170 linear feet), strongly recommending a double mat rebar construction with 12 inch walls. Nobody else even mentioned that. When I asked other pool builders, I was told "not to worry about it". Well, I'd rather spend the extra money up front than dealing with a cracked pool shell later. He even commissioned an engineering survey to confirm before breaking ground. The equipment is top notch. Pool pump and heater are working beautifully giving us the clearest water we've ever seen in a pool while maintaining the temp at 80 degrees when needed. We were guided expertly through the materials process and features (plastering, tile, travertine, water features, autofill) to achieve the end result we wanted. He also recommended a great pool maintenance company that takes care of all our ongoing needs. He was responsive throughout and supervised the pool building from start to finish. He made sure everything was done to our satisfaction down to the smallest detail.

Its a bit hidden right by a playground and dog park. This summer we had her taking lessons for the Preschool class early on in the summer and a couple of weeks ago completed the Advanced Preschool. Swimming lessons were through the Rec Center schedule. If you or any family members are thinking of doing swimming lessons, I highly recommend taking the courses as they take place here. The instructors were friendly with all ages and took such great time and patience especially with the preschoolers. There are two pools at the Lake Creek Pool. One large one...I'm not quite sure the depth but there is also a kiddie pool off to the side which has a cover over it from the sun..which was maybe a little over a foot in depth. Off to the side there are a handful of picnic type tables and several lounge chairs off to the side. There is a huge tent over the picnic tables but other than that, there is no shade. For just playing in the water and to swim, this place isn't too bad if you aren't looking for water slides or anything. Just a place to swim, hang out and cool off.

I like this spot. It's a pretty quiet pool compared to a lot of other RR community pools, which I…read morelove. You can bring in your own food and drinks (no alcohol-boo!) which is great since they don't have food items or snacks for sale. It's only $2 to get in which seems like a steal for any activity whatsoever these days, being that everything ever to do is hella expensive. This pool is nothing exciting. It's great for swimming and has a nice big deep end of diving without the board. It also has a nice shaded kiddie pool for my little one. There's no trees or grass to relax in if you're looking for that. The bathrooms are usually pretty gross. Fortunately, I don't have to use them often. They could pick up the TP off the ground- that'd be cool.

I like this pool. Small, free and the lifeguards and families who swim there are very nice.The…read moreproblem is the design of the main building. The men's bathroom/changing room is attached to the lifeguard office area. The guards have nowhere to sit out of the sun when they aren't watching swimmers so they sit in the entrance to the men's room. They have to move their legs out of the way so you can go into the bathroom, and they are just inches from being in the changing room area. So you walk past a female guard, take a left a foot later and there is your bench to change clothes. The faucet they use to hose off the pool area is located inside the men's room so the female guards walk into the men's room to turn it off and on. They also store garbage bins, swimming noodles, and the emergency board in the men's room which the females must get it they need them. The urinals are right there as well. Last year as I was changing, I was walked in on 3 times by female guards. I know it's not the guards fault, they certainly don't want to walk in on old people like me, it's the extremely poor design of the place. Who thought this was a good idea? Perhaps they could install an inexpensive visual barrier you would have to walk through to see into the changing area and urinal location? Until then I say they switch the men's and ladies' rooms for a year - what's good for the gander is good for the goose! Let's see how long this problem persist if the mothers keep getting walked in on. : )

Crowds: Low The lanes were not crowded and the lifeguard to swimmer ratio high. Parking: Indeed I had to walk no more than 25 feet to get into the pool area. Showers: nice hot and somewhat discrete Eye Candy: Some hot housewives, but not much. Grassy area: This is the biggest drawback to this pool. The Grass is filled with biting ants. NEVER LEAVE YOUR STUFF THERE. I learned this the hard way. Water temperature: Pretty warm in September Depth: 2-4 feet deep enough to lap swim, but no good diving. Admission: 2 dollars in the winter
