Alligator's Creek Aquatic Center, O'Fallon MO

Location: 403 Civic Park Drive, O'Fallon, MO 63366

Website: http://www.ofallon.mo.us/parks&rec/alligators-creek-aquatic-center

This is a pubic pool that was renovated in 2018. They have a one-meter spring diving board in the deep pool, a lazy river with a vortex that's connected to the children's shallow pool, a small splash pad, and kids who are at least 48 inches tall can enjoy three different water slides.

The splash pad is small and enclosed by a fence. 

Renovations expanded the aquatic center to twice its original size. Among the new features are a comfortable modern bathhouse, a new concession stand, a longer lazy river with a zero-depth beach entrance, an exciting new splash pad for kids of all abilities, a floating bridge and a new pool with a fun waterway that connects a larger pool with a newly-installed interactive water playground.

Some places call this a lily pad walk, they call it a water bridge. It's a fun challenge for kids.

This slide is short and fast!

The vortex is always a hit with kids. I guess they like going around in circles lol.

The lazy river is long and not very deep. My 9 year old could stand with his head above water but they do require an inner tube. 

They have 2 basketball hoops near the water bridge.
