The aquatic center has activities geared toward people of all ages!

The aquatic center can accommodate up to 808 visitors and has trained and certified lifeguards on staff. However, parents or guardians must supervise all children 12 and under and must remain within arm's reach of any child under the age of seven. Please review the aquatic center rules prior to visiting The Station.
