Party includes:
- Private pool party area directly adjacent to pool (not the public/pool patio area). Space is an outdoor, open-air room that is semi-shaded with umbrellas (it is NOT air conditioned or fan-cooled). The space does have a mix of sun and shade which is dependent on time of day (earlier in the day is sunnier, later is more shaded).
- Recreation pool, splash pad and locker room use during the designated public swim session (does not include fitness/lap lane area).
- Pool amenities (i.e., big slide and deep end) may not be available simultaneously during a public session dependent on lifeguard staffing (we do not guarantee full amenities as staff may call out unexpectedly due to illness, family emergencies...). Note: youth will have to pass a deep end test (once per season) in order to swim in the deep end.

Package Fees
- Two-Hour Package: $175 (2-hour maximum).
