Being that Surprise is a pretty new and up and coming community, this modest little Aquatic Center is new, clean and perfect for the community it serves. It has a little bit of everything for everyone of every age. Water slides, fountains and wading area, a real (small) whirlpool, a large lap pool, and two spring boards and deep pool for diving.
After swimming in my in-laws pool every day for 5 days, coming here was a nice change of pace for the whole family. Never mind every day was either 105 - 116 degrees and our private swimming pool temperature never went below 92 degrees so. This aquatic parks water was just perfect and COOLING.
I'd definitely come back here if I'm crazy enough to visit AZ in the middle of July again.
Pros:
-Clean, affordable, something for everyone
-The little whirl pool that whips kids around in a circle. Good fun albeit crowded
-Can bring outside food (although sign says you can't). Just be discreet and put it in a bag, but some folks walked in with coolers???
-the shallow baby/toddler area
-big lap pool to just mellow out when the kiddie area gets too crowded
-shady bleacher area
-lots of parking (no shade tho)
-snack bar
Cons:
-Can get crowded / lack of shady areas so grab what you can!
-That covered waterslide is SUPER whippy! I suggest you lay all the way down to avoid banging your head on the last turn before you hit water.
