    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.

    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.

    We just finished building our pool, and we honestly cannot say enough good things about Nate and…read morehis team. From day one, his attention to detail, communication, and craftsmanship were outstanding. Before we received the final contract, Nate spent months with us on the design, going back and forth on every detail and with extreme patience. He was able to provide accurate pricing on all the additions and changes. When we would ask for something he would explain WHY it can or cannot be done. Every step of the process was handled with professionalism and care, and it is clear he takes immense pride in his work. What stood out the most, though, was his character. He's honest, dependable, and truly cares about doing things the right way. In an industry where that isn't always guaranteed, working with someone who leads with integrity made the entire experience stress-free and genuinely enjoyable. Nate has a degree in civil engineering from A&M and is able to explain the physics of why we might not want to do something we think we want to do. We were wanting a special feature for the pool and Nate said we could do it as long as it was done a certain way. We pushed back and he gently provided the justification and engineering evidence to support his stance. We are so glad he talked us down from making a potential thousands of dollars mistake and he handled it with patience, care and understanding. He consistently went above and beyond, caught things we never would have noticed, and made sure everything was done to the highest standard. It was a total slam dunk from start to finish. If you're considering building a pool, I would recommend Athena Pools without hesitation. He didn't just build us a pool -- he created a space our family will enjoy for years to come. We're incredibly grateful for Nate and his entire team's work and would choose him again in a heartbeat.

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.

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.

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. : )
