This pool is open daily from 11 am-6 pm and on Sundays from 1-6 pm. This facility was a private Teamsters resort, and it sat empty for years. It's under new ownership and they're bringing it back to life. Also on this property is a golf course, RV park, overnight cabins, a banquet hall, and a stocked fishing lake. The Teamsters have owned the property since 1959, but I can't find out what year the pool was built. It's not ancient, but it's showing some age.

Small, shallow baby pool near the entrance.

They had tons of tables with umbrellas next to the concession stand.

 They have such a great kids' area! Zero entry, tire swing, 2 big slides, and pop jets galore mean any kid will love this.

Here's a cool feature: they have a tiny baby pool sectioned off from the regular pool. 

2 speed slides on the water playground, plus a tunnel and a couple other slides. 

2 diving boards
