Highlands Lazy River and Slide Tower closed

Highlands Lazy River and Slide Tower closed for essential safety maintenance.

We want to keep you safe! We'll be working on removing some potentially sharp material that was accidentally dropped into that pool section. We plan to have these sections clean, safe and ready to use by July 4th!

To help keep all swimmers safe, make sure to follow the following pool rules:

  • Do not bring shatterable plastic, glass, or other materials near the pool. These can break and be difficult to see. When that happens, we have to drain the pool for your safety. That means no swimming for several days-and no one wants that!

  • Remember, glass is prohibited in the Highlands locker rooms and pool areas.

  • If you notice something in one of the pools or watch something enter that you think is unsafe, please inform staff or an on-duty lifeguard immediately.

Thank you for helping keep Highlands safe and swimmable!
