Pretty awesome see cool thangs in the hood these days well its definitely getting gentrified but me and my kids climbed the tower they even got weight machines now. Hopefully they don't take it down

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

This indoor aquatic center could work well for families seeking year-round swimming, with some staff members providing excellent service. However, the cash-only policy and reports of poor front desk customer service create significant barriers, especially for families with disabilities or those needing basic accommodations. Best suited for local families who can prepare exact change and aren't deterred by inconsistent service quality.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Bring exact cash - they don't accept cards and may not have change available
⏰Arrive prepared as front desk staff may not be accommodating with payment issues
🎟️Check pool schedules as classes can limit lane availability
πŸš—Be aware that cleanliness standards may vary
