I love coming to this place with the munchkins in the middle of summer. As part of Columbia’s system of pools it’s open during those peak times when the heat is brutal. We’ve come here many times that should have been considered jam packed, but although it’s sometimes busy, it’s never THAT packed. The real bonus here(especially for somebody who’s skin color is somewhere between gingery and clear) is that although it’s an outdoor pool, there is a ton of shade! That’s a big deal since I usually get burned at the mere mention of sunlight. Take the kids and have a great time. The location is great for me. Check the map. Maybe it’s great for you too.
