Absurd off at River Run New Albany Family unit Waterpark!

River Run
My kids and I were looking for a new identify swim during the oppressive July heat. At 9 and almost 13, my kids have a tendency to become bored at a basic puddle. I institute River Run New Albany Family Waterpark in our pool directory and decided to do a bit more research. The park map on River Run's website helped me make the determination. It showed different park features that sounded enticing, plus a reasonably-priced snack bar which is oh then of import if you have a boy around my son's age!

Nosotros arrived around noon, and though in that location was a good sized crowd, we were able to find a few chairs together abreast the activity puddle. This puddle starts at 3ft deep and graduates to 5ft. This was a nice area for united states of america to hang out as a family. Deep enough for me to get a little exercise while the kids jumped in from the side and played. On the other side of the rope, the pool gets gradually more than shallow and leads to a play surface area for younger kids, including a transport with water features and a pocket-sized slide.

On the other side of the park, there is a lazy river. The required single and double inner tubes are provided and were all well inflated. The lazy river is a nice place to relax and just go with the flow.

Just within of the river, in that location are 4 h2o slides. One open slide (inner tube required), ii torso slides and a bowl slide for those who are daring. Nosotros did not attempt the bowl slide, but we watched others dropping down into the pool upside down equally they excited the slide!

After spending some time in all of the different areas, we decided to take a suspension on the upper deck for lunch. The concession stand offers basic fare reasonable cost. We ordered a burger meal, nachos, apple tree sauce, a walking taco and drinks and only spent nearly $xvi. The service was quick and there were at that place were multiple tables available. I like that the restrooms are located near the dining area. The women'south restroom was clean and well stocked. There were showers stalls as well. My son said the men'south restroom was clean but it was out of soap, so I was glad I had hand sanitizer in my bag.

On our mode back down to the pool we walked past the toddler splash expanse and puddle. Information technology was really cute with multiple spray features and a pocket-sized slide. The toddler puddle maxes out at a depth of 2ft. In that location were multiple chairs along side of it and a lifeguard in the water at all times. We saw lots of moms and dad enjoying the expanse with their fiddling ones, simply I waited until they had left to snap a photograph.

I thing I appreciated about this park is the attentiveness of the lifeguards. There were several on duty in each area and they rotated often to stay alert and refreshed. I noticed them correcting children for running on the pool deck and rough housing in the h2o. I also observed them springing into action twice to aid a child who seemed to be struggling in the water. Some other affair I noticed was the cleanliness of the waterpark. Guests are not allowed to bring in exterior food and drinks, and the concessions are on the upper deck. These measured helped to go on the pool area nice and tidy.
