Veteran’s Memorial Pool

Love this place! Such a great place to take the kids. Not a recommendation for just adults. The water is shallow and great for young ones. They have a lot of good shade coverage and the price is very good! The staff is very good with handling the «bad eggs». I have a problem dealing with other people’s children, most are disrespectful and rude. The kids there just run over the babies trying to play. It was a little crowded but very enjoyable.

Fun little kiddie park pool! My daughter had a good time here. I will agree with the attentiveness of most of the lifeguards is admirable in comparison to other pools.
My only complaint is:
One lifeguard wasn’t paying attention to the slide of the tower and my daughter went down the slide not knowing a kid was at the bottom. He told my 6 year old daughter she couldn’t slide anymore, which upset her. After that we sort of avoided wherever he went. If you have a park aimed towards little kids; you must learn to deal with them in a fair way. Banning them only makes them feel they’ve done something horribly wrong when in fact it was just an accident. Kids tend to learn judgement, they aren’t born with this ability and it’s important that these young lifeguards understand that.
Other than this minor incident, the place is well managed and the pool is clean. I will come back and bring my kids here because they love it!

This place is awesome! Took my 3 girls for the first time today and had a great time.

This is a great public pool that is well maintained.
The pros:
–Plenty of parking and spaces for disabled.
–Reasonable prices! Adults are only $ 5 for the day, seniors $ 2, kids under 3 free, students with ID $ 4.
–Clean bathrooms and outdoor showers available for when you are getting in the water and out.
–This place caters to groups! Plenty of lawn chairs. Picnic tables available, most in the shade. Families are also welcome to bring in their own cooler and picnic supplies!
–Lifeguards are friendly, kind and vigilant! They do a great job of rotating between areas regularly and of letting children know when their behavior could hurt them or someone else. For example, no running, no horseplay on another’s shoulders, and no diving in shallow areas. They also give the children swim tests to determine which areas they are able to enter. Those lifeguards are awesome!
–Perfect for the young ones! There is an obstacle course, three small slides, a large mushroom, multiple fountains and sprays, even a large bucket that overturns, dumping gallons of water every so often. The kids love it! For the bigger kids, there is also a deep area for diving and a tube-​like water slide.
The cons:
–Hours could be longer. The pool doesn’t open until noon and it would be nice to take advantage of this pool a little earlier, around 10 AM. The pool closes at 7 PM Monday-​Saturday and at 6 PM on Sunday.
–The biggest con, in my opinion, is that this place is geared more toward children and there is no deeper area for adults to swim. Don’t come here expecting to do laps! The deepest area for swimming is only 3 feet, 6 inches. There is really no place where you are safe from kids splashing you directly in the face. So if hanging out with a bunch of screaming kids who are having a great time and splashing all around is not your thing, this pool is not for you.
I am happy to have this community pool available for cooling off in summer! There’s also a nearby playground and dog park (where dogs can play in a lagoon and are separated by size), so there’s a lot to enjoy in Veteran’s Memorial Park.

My family loves this pool and there are things for each age group. There are lifeguards all around and there isn’t the ‘adult only’ swim time like at many other pools.

I really like this pool. As a parent I appreciate that there are always a ton of lifeguards. I always watch my little ones in the water. But with two 4 year olds and a 9 year old it can be difficult. It’s nice to know I can watch the two little ones while the older child (who can swim) does his thing while there are tons of lifeguards around. My kids appreciate how fun this place is. There are little water slides for the young ones. There is a water slide for the older one. A mini waterfall for everyone. A water dump bucket. Just tons of fun for the whole family. Yes, it can get crowded. Honestly though it seems I can say that about all the fun family activities in this area. So if you are looking for a fun family pool this is a great choice.

I went there yesterday for a 4 year old bday party and is really nice with large pools for everyone. I also impressed with several lifeguards watching the children. Seems safe to me. I think is really cool pool for the community but I was here for a private event not sure how would be with the whole community together, probably would be different but the place itself is really nice.

A few adults, a few toddlers and we all had a blast. The place was busy with a number of birthday parties, but it didn’t feel crowded because people were well spread out over the different sections of the pool. The lines were not longer than 5 kids to get on the small slides. Thanks to the huge bucket dumping water frequently, we really cooled off and started to feel a little cold on a 100degree day. I’ll gladly pay the low entrance fee than go to a water park with little kids.

My wife and i took our daughter and dog to the Bark Park the other day and saw Veterans Memorial Pool. Immediately we wanted to go there, so we went the next day and our daughter absolutely loved it! Great place to take the family with a lunch for the day, plenty of features to keep us entertained. They do charge an fee to access the pools, but it is well worth it! We will definitely be here a couple times this summer.

Fun times were had at this place! The slides were tame for the little ones and there’s a drop slide and platform for the braver, older kids that ends up in the 12.5 feet deep pool. You can bring your lunches and there’s plenty of lawn chairs to go around. Just get there when it opens to ensure a nice shady table for your family and friends.

We live in Liberty Hill and I am always looking for awesome pools. I have been driving yo Rock n River in Round Rock. Here a Veteran’s the restrooms were clean, the lifeguards were attentive. However it would give me more piece of mind if you could rope the children’s area off from where it gets deeper. That’s my only complaint. They do a swim test for the kids who want to go down the slide for the deep area. We will most definitely be back. Oh and unfortunately the open at noon why not at ten seems crazy to me but oh well.

Hey fellow Unilocalers just an update!!!
So if you’ve read my prevoiuos review I really love this mini water park.
But lately I’m totally not feeling it here.
It has been way over crowded.
I can hardly move in the water with out getting kicked by some other kid Grrrr!!!
Other pools may have less fun pool activities but what’s the point coming here when you can’t enjoy them…
I need more arm and leg room to enjoy myself and to keep up with my kiddo in the pool!
Plus the parking is Annoying Me.
They need more parking I get frustrated doing circles looking for a spot!
For now I highly recommend find another pool for the time being.
It’s not worth coming here right now or possibly get here when the doors open maybe then you’ll have better luck and get some swim fun in before the big afternoon crowds.

Fun for all ages took my 3 and 6 yr old. Very safe for bigger kids to wander away from parents. I didn’t have to watch them like a hawk.
Not a pool for swimming laps so don’t go expecting that. Pretty clean area and the lifeguards take their job seriously and will call your kid out if they are acting up. Which is good that they’re not sitting around talking to each other. Decent bathrooms with a family bathroom, outside showers to rinse off. Several canopies with picnic tables. Parking is limited though.

OMG can you say kiddie heaven?!? Our 2 year old had as much fun as she would’ve at an amusement park for a fraction of the price! (Then again, she pulled a string off the fabric of her stroller the other day and it kept her entertained for a good 30 minutes.)
Great place for kids of all ages! There are both shallow and deep pools, the big bucket of water, a big spiral-​y slide, little slides, basketball hoops, a high dive, and one of those walk-​across-​the-​water-​on-​slippery-​plastic-​squares-​and-​try-​not-​to-​fall-​in deals. They have life vests available in various sizes and attentive lifeguards all over the place. Plenty of lounge chairs and shady areas, too.
Oh, and on the drive in we passed a big playground area which looked super fun too, but didn’t have time for both. I could see spending an entire day at this place and never getting bored.

This pool opened at noon when I came here. But I’d agree that even noon is a little weird… 10 or 11 would be better.
It get’s pretty busy around 2 or 3, and we came on a week day.
It’s incredibly safe, and there are lifeguards EVERYWHERE! This is a perfect spot for very small children. They provide nice life vests for you.
I do not like the massive water bucket that drops 800 gallons of water on you, but I’m sure the kids love it. Just be warned if you need to walk your kid up to the slide, you’ll get dumped on a lot. And slide down on your bootie not your tummie. Why IS that anyway? They reinforce it pretty hardcore.
There are a ton of lawn chairs if you want to relax.
I’d say the $ 5 admission for adults and $ 2 for kids is worth it to keep a bunch of kids entertained under supervision from several lifeguards. There is plenty here to keep kids happy for hours.
My only issue is it’s in cedar park… but then again I only babysit, so if I was a parent that probably wouldn’t be a huge issue for me. The long drive is kind of relaxing on the way home anyway.

I love this place! but why oh why does it not open until 1PM? that is far too late in the day for little ones. And its the heat of the day! Why not open at 9 or 10AM?

This is by far the nicest municipal kids pool I have ever visited. Mind you, this is targeted toward kids (don’t go here if you are hoping to swim laps). My kids loved it. I’ve honestly never seen such extensive array of fun things to do at a pool outside of an amusement park.
The only thing I didn’t like was that there are not a ton of places to sit so if you go when it is crowded, bring a lawn chair.

Finally, A non-​community HOA imposed pool for the kids. It seems a little pricer than other «city» pools but this one does provide an active selection of cooling off. The only thing I don’t like — no place to swim! OMG a pool where you cannot swim — well you can if you are being dropped in the water from the slide — other than that — it’s all about the kiddos…
And I don’t understand why they open at 1 PM~!
