The North Pointe Family Aquatic Center is a state-of-the-art facility that features a competitive pool measuring 25 yards x 25 meters, with 10 lanes, two one-meter diving boards, and a “Tree Swing." Surrounding the complex is a 1,000 foot Lazy River, which facilitates a running waterfall and various sprays. The Lazy River encloses a Leisure Pool with a beach entry, sprays, and a vortex. Also enclosed by the Lazy River is a Kiddie Pool with a beach entry and a large SCS play-structure featuring Hector the Heron and a “Bucket Falls” bucket. Between the Leisure Pool and Kiddie pool is a Splash Pad, which is a padded area with multiple spray features and shade. Adjacent to the Competition pool are one open-flume and one closed-flume, two-story Water Slides. Unlike some municipalities, non-residents are welcome at North Pointe but pay an additional fee.

This park was renamed in 2018 from Greenwood Park to Turner Park after a famous resident.  It's a small little pocket park with one play structure, 2 sling swings, a small pavilion, and a basketball court.

The play structure has a steering wheel, slides, a chain climber, and various bars and poles. I didn't see any restrooms.

Heman Pool is an older pool. It was built in 1933! It isn't new and fancy but it can still be fun. It has a small slide, some inflatable pool toys, and a small kiddie pool next to the big pool. The big pool has 2 diving boards and lap lanes. They are open daily from noon to 8:00 p.m.

Non residents can swim here but you need an ID card which costs $7. Then you can pay daily rates to swim for the rest of the summer. Non resident adults pay $7, resident adults pay $6. Non resident kids under 17 pay $6 and resident kids pay $3.
