The swimming facilities include a large swimming pool with dual slides and two diving boards. The smaller pool, known as the "Noah's Ark Pool", was VOTED BEST POOL IN HOUSTON IN A POLL BY GREAT DAY HOUSTON!!!  It is the most popular area as it is ideal for pre-k and early elementary children. It is shallow and provides a good area for splashing and playing.  A "Noah's Ark" structure is located In the center of the pool and includes three slides and a crawl-through. A mushroom water drop, a rainbow slide, a coconut water drop, and spraying water from Noah's animals complete this fun facility.
 
Either of these pools may be rented for private parties after public pool hours, and on Sundays . During open swim hours the covered picnic area is also available for rental. For more information on pool rentals please visit: Parties and Facility Rental.
