Mesquite Aquatic Center

Took the kids (12&5) to enjoy some fun in the sun, they loved it! We recently returned to enjoy the movie night at the pool, again it did not disappoint! Definitely a favorite for my kids. They love the water slides and the diving board. My 5 year old enjoys the zero depth play area! Concession stand is reasonable, price and product wise. However, you can bring your own food and drinks in. Its worth the $ 5 and the few hours on a Saturday!

This place was super fun and my kids are already talking about going back. I’m pretty sure this will become a frequent hang out for us all summer.
This place has enough features to keep the kids entertained and having fun in a compact area so parents always know where their kids are. There is a kiddie pool (zero depth) that gradually becomes deeper with two «mushroom» water features and a kiddie slide. Along the wall there is a seating area where parents can sit and watch the kids if you are wanting to get in the water. The main pool is connected tot he kiddie area but separated by a rope. It’s pretty large and has two lanes for lap swimmers. There is a lot of space for kids to swim and play without rubbing shoulders with other patrons. Outside of the main pool area is a diving pool with one board and another pool area with two larger water slides. If you are like up and go early on a weekday, be prepared for large summer camp groups to show up.
There are tons of lifeguards and they rotate stations frequently. My only gripe is that not all lifeguards are consistent with the rule where your child must be 42″ to go down the large water slide. We didn’t have an issue but I overheard another parent who was upset that one lifeguard let her child go but another didn’t. The wait for the water slides can be long so I can see how this would be frustrating for child and parent.
There are a bunch of covered picnic tables and you can bring outside food in with you. There is a concession stand that has candy and treats but also serves hot dogs, nachos, and other lunch type foods. There are some covered bleachers over by the concession stand with a mister system so you can keep cool while eating. Some people brought their own folding chairs in with them and set them up over in this area. If you want to lay your towel out instead of setting up at a table, there is only one grassy area and shade is minimal.
Admission is $ 1 for kids (17 and under) and $ 3 for adults. There is an option to purchase a punch card which would be a little bit of a cost savings. There are lockers for .25 to store your things.
For our first public pool experience we had tons of fun and can’t wait to go back.
