Stone Mountain Park Aquatic Center

May is National Water Safety Month, and there is no better time for the public to get familiar with Gwinnett County Parks & Recreation’s state of the art aquatic centers and leisure pools.  In anticipation of the busy summer season, GCPR is holding lifeguard orientation and training on May 22 – 23 at Mountain Park Aquatic Center in Stone Mountain.  300 selected individuals will go through rigorous training and practice water rescues, CPR, first aid, and various scenarios to ensure readiness for the busy summer season.  This is the same training that has led GCPR lifeguards to win the Georgia Recreation and Park Association’s State Lifeguard Competition Team Championships consecutively in 2006, 2007 and 2008, and place Second Place in 2009!

GCPR aquatic programs continue to grow at a fast pace and currently GCPR operates 17 swimming pools, including two indoor and seven outdoor leisure pools, four indoor competition pools, three indoor instructional pools, and one outdoor pool. Visitors will find a wide-array of amenities for both fun and learning, including private, semi-private, and group swim lessons annually for all ages.

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.
