Bogan Park Aquatic Center – Updated March 10, 2011

By | March 31, 2010 | aquatic center, Aquatic Park, In-Door Pool, Parks, Pool Rental | 5 Comments

 

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.
