New features include a zero-depth entry, shade structures, three 25-yard lap lanes, a deep end with diving boards, and a 180-foot current channel for lazy river fun. A brand-new bathhouse and concession stand round out the upgrades. The surrounding park also got a facelift with a new access road, better shelters, and year-round restrooms. Hours: noon to 6 PM on July 4, then noon to 7:30 PM until August 9 (closed a few August days for staff).
