Very fun!

The property is beautiful and the snack bar has a wide variety of filling foods. I like how only little kids can play in the splash pool, making sure it’s safe for them. The pool has a deep well with diving board, shallow end, and several lap lanes. I like the volleyball, basketball, and fields for running and kickball. The swim team is a fun experience run by passionate volunteers dedicated to the kids and the competitions. I love seeing how the swimmers eventually become junior coaches and then coaches as they grow, forming a leadership pipeline of sorts. My favorite was volunteering for and running the meet with the beach ball giveaway for swimmers, the highlight being the silly floaty relays. I am glad to see the boundary map published to offer transparency that was before missing. Noticeable however is how overwhelmingly white the membership is. Many times I was the only or one of few non-white people, though the surrounding community is not exclusively white. It makes the pool experience difficult sometimes because not everyone is friendly and often friend groups are tight and difficult to break into. Several factors keep the membership looking a certain way: candidates must be homeowners (no renters allowed) and they must be recommended by two existing members (meaning they must form part of that friend group or know them). While it is a nice campus, these are factors that neighbors must be aware of when considering which of the many local community pools to join.

This is a great neighborhood pool! I've been here a number of times to take my kids to birthday parties and it never disappoints. If I lived in the neighborhood, I'd be proud to be a member!!!
