It’s July and the sun should be shining brightly. How ‘bout a little splash and buckets of wet fun?! Let’s meet at the large playground in front of the pool at 10:30 am for some playground fun and then take it to the pool about 11 am when they open. Admission is $8 (for non-Coppell residents) from the age of 3-54 years.
Directions: Take the Frankford exit on I-35 heading north. Turn left at the light (Hwy. 121) just south of the mall. Follow it west until you get to Denton Tap Road and then turn left (south). Turn left at the next light onto Parkway Blvd. Go through the stop sign (don’t forget to stop) and take the second left into the park parking lot.

More wet fun under the sun. This facility just opened on June 18th and was featured in the ‘Denton County Morning News’ on Friday, June 20th. The article sure made the place sound fun: four slides, a 600- foot river, a children’s pool with equipment set in 18-inches of water, an amphitheater, pavilions and indoor pools. So, how about trying it out? Admission is $8.50 for non-Denton residents ages 12 and up; $7.00 ages 6 to 11; and $3 ages 5 and younger.
Directions: please call the facility at 940-349-8800 for directions.
