Read more about this location
H. Spurgeon Cherry Pool is a full aquatics facility where the splash pad is part of a larger pool outing rather than a stand-alone spray park. Families get a heated 50-meter pool, splash pad for younger kids, aqua slide, diving features, locker rooms, showers, shade structures, and a pavilion. It works especially well for households with siblings who want both shallow splash play and a more traditional public-pool experience.
