Bogan Park Aquatic Center

Bogan Park

This indoor aquatic center is ideal for a rainy or cold day. It features a competition pool, interactive play structures, a lazy river and a water slide. The zero depth leisure pool is a great environment to help your toddler feel comfortable with the water, while older kids will enjoy getting one another wet or participating in a friendly race. Picnic tables are available outdoor next to the pool so you can plan your picnic for a full fun day at this water park.

The pool is always well maintained and the staff is extremely friendly, helpful and courteous. The day I was there with my kids the water main had busted – no water, no filtering. They had to close the pool that day. But, they were giving out mapquest driving instructions to Bethesda Aquatic Center (only 20-25 minutes away).Gwinnett County always has the best staff people and life guards on duty. They’re the best – at all the centers.

*Monday-Friday 11am-1pm, lap swim, exercise & therapy only (no diving boards)

Mountain Park Aquatic Center

Stone Mountain Aquatic Center

Have you been to the Mountain Park Aquatic Center?  If you live around Lilburn or Mountain Park, I’m sure you have noticed there on Rockbridge Road near Five Forks, just up the road from Kroger.  But have you been there?

It is a great facility.  In addition to the community center which hosts a variety of events, there is the outside recreational pool, an inside instructional pool and the lap pool.

There are different programs available ranging from Parent Assisted Swim Classes to Aqua-Aerobics for Seniors. There are swim team competitions and swim classes for older children and adults.

The gem, though, is the recreational pool.  It has a “zero entry” which means that one can walk into the pool with no steps.  There is a small slide with a water-works theme for the smaller kids to play on.  The water around it is fairly shallow.  There is also a “lazy river” which allows people to float around it and under a waterfall.  Finally, there are two larger waterslides for older kids and adults.

The prices are pretty reasonable.

There are also walking trails around the grounds for alternate exercise.

Pictures from the facility can be seen here.

Summer hours for the outdoor recreational pool ends September 14, 2009. However, the indoor lap pool will be open the fall hours.
