We went on a week day so it wasnt as crowded as I have heard from others. They ran out of pop and pretzels so there wasnt much to choose from for food. The slide didnt open until later in the day so that was disappointing.

Try calling before I went all the way up to this water park but seems as tho nobody can answer the phone. I have been to this park before but things have changed and I needed answers to my questions before coming. Guess they dont want my business!!

Trying to call for days website says they are open no one answers the phone so we drove up here and there was no one here the pool was green and it looks like it hasn’t been open in years and there’s no water in the lazy river despite what the website says this place is definitely closed

Had a great time with the little ones here today ️

We had a blast here. I have 3 young not so great swimmers yet, and I felt like the lifeguards did a great job keeping everyone safe. They have a good size pool, a spray pool thats only 2ish feet deep with a walk in entry. And a lazy river to go tubing on. We will definitely be back. It was pretty busy this weekend, but if was also free admission.

My 3 nephews and I had a blast! We will definitely be back again! Great staff and great prices! It was only $3 for adults and $2 for kids and the concessions were very reasonable.

Great place to take your kids to enjoy the pool!!

Do you want to have a chill fun time with your kids or friends? This is the place for you. Super friendly life guards, concessions workers and environment. Theyll answer any questions that you might have. The only thing you have to worry about is a kid running in to you, but even that is quickly handled by the life gaurds. I HIGHLY recommend this place.

We had a fantastic time the two times we visited this year. My kids are 7 and 9 and they loved the variety of things to do. We stayed about 4-5 hours each visit. Lots of lifeguards on duty. Very clean and Great price for all they get to do. We will be back for sure next year !

Awesome water park! Fun, friendly staff, clean park, etc. One guard that stood out in my mind was a guy named Hunter. He seemed to take his job serious as every lifeguard should. Always kept his eyes on the pool and on all the patrons. Me and my family had a great time!

I took my kids to the park last week and they had a great time! Staff was very friendly and vigilant. My son was injured at our community pool as a result of other kids horsing around..so it’s great to see a park that enforces their rules! They loved the lazy river and we will definitely be coming back!

The facility is adequate; however there arent enough shady areas for those of us who prefer not to develop melanoma. This was my first visit and it was absolutely awful. Patrons of color were routinely singled out for any number of reasons. A group of young black boys were immediately targeted upon entry and treated harshly for their entire visit, despite the fact that they were acting no differently than other patrons of the same age. My party had several unpleasant experiences with the lifeguards and witnessed several more. One particular lifeguard, Hunter, is a problem. He behaves more like a police officer than a lifeguard. He is very arrogant and seems to only notice infractions or problems when they involve people of color. Similar infractions committed by white patrons were largely ignored or went unnoticed altogether. As this is a public, tax-payer supported facility, this behavior is particularly troubling. When brought to the attention of administrators on site, their response was even more troubling. One literally tried to hide from us, not once, but twice, and the other remained completely silent, offering neither solace, nor apology. If this were a private facility, Id make it a point never to return; however it is a public facility and all patrons should be able to enjoy it equally, so I will return, if only to be a watchdog and call out racism and discrimination whenever I see it. I encourage other patrons of color to do the same. If you walk away, the bigots win and youre still paying for it with your hard earned money. Demand respect, demand equal treatment, and take to task anyone who treats you otherwise.

It was decent especially for the price but they’re a bit strict. The concession stand was closed all day and the slide was closed most of the day, when they finally opened it they closed the lazy river and wouldn’t let the children on the slide without passing a swim test. They then said that the kids couldn’t take the swim test cause they had already had been given a life jacket so that really upset the kids they were really looking forward to going down the slide all day. The kids seemed to enjoy the day but said they didn’t want to go back because the lifeguards were rude and had too many rules.

Visited the pool the other weekend and was very pleased with the facility. The pool itself was well kept and the lifeguards and staff on hand were polite and did their best to enforce the rules to keep the pool safe and fun. I plan on going back!

This is a really fun water play. Park is clean and people were very pleasant. Slides for the little ones and a large one for big kids and adults. Affordable family fun.

Took my grandsons and they had a wonderful time! Lazy River was closed but we were there a little later than I had planned! Even though they both wanted to do the lazy river, they still had fun. Monday’s were not as crowded and I was able to get a lounge chair while we were there and the weather was perfect!Several lifeguards were on duty and all were vigilant in performing their duties to keep the children safe. There were infants and teens in the kiddie area, but it was not overly crowded.My grands are from Florida, Next summer we will definitely come back!

I do not return. First they do not accept debit cards and you find out in the entrance, after you finished the file. there are no announcements for you to come prepared. the policy of the swimming test seems unnecessary to me, every father who becomes should be responsible for his children and not forcing children to use life preservers, I saw many children crying because they were forced to use it. Too many people, tje administration should control the number of people who enter. and the slide was closed and they give no reason why. first and last time. Thanks

Barato,limpio,staff very friendly.

The facility is very well maintained and is great for kids. The lifeguards are friendly, attentive, and obviously take their jobs very seriously as they enforce the rules as they are stated and do not tolerate nonsense. For all the good the lifeguards do, other patrons still can spoil the experience. One particular patron, whom i discovered to be named Hayley Figueroa, was particularly rude and hateful towards most people who met with her. I wouldn’t reccomend that she be allowed back into the facility were I in charge there.

My family and I visited this pool Sunday hoping to have a fun day in the sun. We were unfairly treated by a cashier who was acting as a manager.My family and I went down to the lazy river to relax, as we was next up the “manager” Angela Queen was speaking to my father in a rude tone. She told him to back up to the marking that said one and he politely said well ma’am I’m literally the first person in line I don’t see why I have to back up no one’s in front of me. Keep in mind there’s a life guard right there and the lady who we eventually found out was actually a cashier. The life guard adds in saying that she’s one of the managers which was a lie. So the “manager” is being very unprofessional, my dad being my dad matched her attitude. And said that he’ll just contact the supervisor and she tells her government name in a loud obnoxious way. My family and I continuing to wait and this man hands my dad the tube so he took it of course and the “manager” snatches it out of my dad’s hand almost having him to fall. My dad does have back pains so that put a strain on his back.We feel we were mistreated and that our money went to waste because of the customer service. We will not be returning unless something is done about her attitude. We deserve an apology. She shouldn’t have handled the situation like that. If we had went to the ymca I guarantee we would not have been treated that way.

Great park. Could use more seating in kiddie area.

Awesome staff! Great amenities! Be mindful that even if you are not swimming, you still have to have swim attire on to enter the facility.

This place has to many rules for every pool/ lazy river to always be out of order. We wont be going back. I think its crazy, you have to be in the proper swim attire or you cant get in. Even if your not touching the water at all.

We Me and my husband, daughters and grandchildren. Had a great time but, I dont understand if your ready to go in why you cant just walk around and go in. Theres a lot of walking and I have COPD.

They had a fun splash pad like middle area, a lazy river, a huge typical pool area and a tots area with a small river looking system to play with boats. When we went I had 2 kids who are considered non swimmers and had to wear red bands(my daughter didnt want to take the swim test at first). They are required to wear life vests which is fine, but I wish I would have known this before so I would have brought our own. Also if you are a parent to multiple kids with red bands and you are a single parent for this outing you will not be able to use the lazy river and probably not the pool since you need one parent per child. The kiddy area was down when we went which is why I ranked it much lower. I feel like we payed to do a splash pad which we could have easily done for free at a park since we were unable to do anything but the splash pad. But it was nice you could bring in a light snack from home. Also FYI once your kid passes up the opportunity to take the swim test they will not let them do it later on. It has to be done immediately when you get there. It is a pretty rigorous test as you have to swim across the entire length of the pool and then tread water for a minute immediately afterwards.

Visited today. This place is fantastic! Staff is friendly & helpful. Facilities are very nice & well cared for. Lazy river was so relaxing. I felt happy to see all the kids enjoying fresh air, sunshine & the pool. They were so busy having fun I didn’t see a one stuck to a cell phone. Go Winston - great place

Good place to go swimming but dont expect to use the facilities. They only had the lazy river open 3 days the whole summer. Tanglewood is much better.

Love the park! The pool, lazy river, slide & the water bucket area is divided but not too far from each other.Theres this little kid area where there seems to be little spouts on the floor but the area wasnt on when we went.The staff is friendly & everything looks clean.They should get plastic tables or the ones mostly used in parks that arent the wooded ones as they look very old & with time can be dangerous.Other than that we will be back again!

I am definitely not coming back here.You HAVE to bring a swimsuit or you can’t come in even if your not swimming.If a kid is under 48 inches an adult (18 or older) has to go in with each kid. So if you have two or more kids over 48 inches and there’s only one adult only one kid can go in.You can’t bring goggles with the nose piece that covers the nose because “it’s dangerous”When I came here the slide was down but I’m not sure if that’s normal or it’s just this time or what.They don’t actually have anywhere for little kids to actually swim. The shortest the pool has is 3 foot 6 inches but any age and height is allowed in the pool but they don’t have it where a kid could touch the ground. They do have a little splash place that the water is 1 and a half feet and under but it’s not a place to swim.At least the kids had fun but I’m not satisfied at all.

Great price and great fun for my 3 and 5 yr old daughters.

My kids enjoyed themselves. We went on a Friday afternoon and there was a good crowd. The lifeguards do a great job watching all of the kids. Its clean, friendly staff and a great price too.

Wonderful water park!! The staff was extremely friendly, we had thought wed be paying $3.00 per person which is very reasonable, however it turned out to be $1.00 day, that was a nice surprise! Were from New York and my family all agreed that we will definitely be going back next time we visit. The lazy river is not always open but we still had a blast!!

Its a pretty good water park just wish the lazy river was up and running more often not much of a crowd

Nice and fun alternative to busier, bigger waterparks! Has swimming pool, water slide, lazy river, and kiddie climbing, spray structure.

Really safe with all the lifeguards and the rules for the life jackets. Completely kid friendly!

Love the park. I just dont get why the slide doesnt open when the park does

My sons love the water playground.

Dumbest water park(if you can even call it that) that I’ve ever been to. You can’t go inside unless you have “proper” swim attire even if you have no desire what so ever to even get in the water.

We will be heading back to Tanglewood! The staff is incredibly rude at this place! They constantly scream and belittle children. The slide was closed most of the day and once the slide opened they closed the lazy river. You cannot even bring in water for your children. You have to wear a swimsuit even if you’re not swimming. This place is terrible!

I took my children today and they truly enjoyed themselves. I was overjoyed that we could take in our own drinks and snacks. The snack bar is cheap but has limited options and only takes cash. I highly recommend bringing your own folding chair because chairs are limited and only located by the kiddie play area.

The place is nice but I drove 1 hour just not to be able to get in Beacause of not wearing swimtrunks even tho I was not gonna swim!

Amazing neighborhood water park! Perfect for kids of all ages. Laid out very well, very clean, amazing prices for entry and snacks. I went prepared with bathing suits and no sandwiches hence previous reviews and it was a blast! After 3 hours the kids didnt want to leave but the park needed to close early due to an incoming storm / audible thunder.

Nice but when I went, the lacy tiber was not working.

A little too strict on swimming policy but completely understand why for safety reasons.

Cant wait until next summer

Grandkids loved it. I wish they would put more tents all the way around and leave just a small section for the sunbathers.

Ok so here it is this is a wonderful pool. It has so much great things!! BUT there is going to be lots of kids getting hurt if they don’t do something about the little kid area! There needs to be strict rules that no one over the age of 8 or 10 maybe to be on the little kid area, my kids got pushed down, held under water, and kicked by all the big kids that were in that pool that shouldn’t be in it. The pool needs to offer times before opening for younger children only so they don’t get hurt!!! I will not go back until that is resolved. The pool itself is great, but there has to be a better way to do things

Winston Water Works has splash and swim fun for all ages. A water-jet patio for toddlers, a splash pool and lazy river for kids, and a swimming pool and water flume for teens and adults.

Its crowded, but too be expected given that it is the newest public pool to open in the city. Low-cost fun ($3 adults, $2 children) for the family. Everyone must have a swimsuit, even if they arent swimming (e.g. parents). The staff is serious about this rule (at all city pools)--no exceptions. The main pool, kids water play area, toddler area, and butt washing station...err lazy river...are all nice.

The park itself is great. They have a kiosko with snacks and fast food.It is very popular which makes it crowded and there arent lockers to leave your personal belongings. We had to put towels on the ground because there werent chairs available.

Took my son today it was our first time we had a blast. Soooooo many people there everyone was real friendly. If you go bring your own chairs we had to stand the whole time.

Great pricing and friendly staff.. bathrooms were clean and clutter free.. I like the fact that they make your child do a swim test before they can swim without a swim vest... a lot of lifeguards on duty.

Very fun! Loved lazy river.. the big slide was not working tho.. life guards realy attentive. Very cheap family fun

Had a good time hope to go back soon

Worst pool I have been to. They closed the big pool and the lazy river was closed. Then they made every one get out of the kid pool for like 20 mins with out giving us a reason why. So here we are with our 4 kids and couldnt do anything but stand there. I wish I could have got a refund. I will not be returning here, I would rather pay more money some where else and be able to swim and enjoy my time. Waste of time and money.

Great place for kids to play

Love this waterpark....wish it was bigger!

CASH ONLY. CASH ONLY. Dont usually rate things one star for one thing but seems a big oversight in the 50 reviews and questions asking about when it opens and how nice it is noone mentioned it was cash only... I am sure its a fine place.

Seems like if the lazy river is going to be closed, it would be posted on a website somewhere. Drove 35 minutes to find that out. Everything was clean enough and the kids enjoyed what was open but well be sticking with Tanglewood. I doubt we go back.

Great price for family kids had a blast

Fun afternoon! There is a fairly large spray ground-a pool-and a water slide. For families to note: limited shade. 15ish lounge chairs and around 30 regular ones. Also, wish we had known that ALL kids must wear a life vest unless they pass a swim test. The test involves swimming the entire pool without touching the ground and then treading water for 1 minute. If they can’t pass this test then they can’t go down the water slide and I saw some pretty upset and dissapointed kiddos! Also, the lazy river was closed and it seemed like it often is. CASH ONLY!!

I love this new Winston Waterworks Park that does have a lazy river has a swimming pool and a kitty area and after the 4th of July and only cost $1to get in, otherwise I think 2 or $ 3... Its better price than Tanglewood at $7 how to get into the pool on the weekend.

Someoneheard lightening, but no one else seen it, had us waiting for over an hour! Ridiculous. Also, understaffed and closed the lazy river. This place is becoming a place many are saying, including myself will not be returning to. Lifeguards have a big head complex because they are young and think they have power, people there are rude in general, turned out to be a good at first, but will never return again. Another added bonus is that your items are not safe, you leave them and someone takes off with them... We have lost two pairs of goggles on this trip being stolen and a brand new beach towel. There is also favoritism that happens because I was told no sandwiches, but others were eating sandwiches left and right. Very bad place to come to for something new... SMH

Its a great place for kids ..

Very nice place, clean! Staff on the move constantly, makes me feel they are actually there to watch out for you.

Family friendly and awesome fun for kids

HORRIBLE! The lazy River wantwa open because of lack of lifeguards they had 6 sitting indoors doing NOTHING. Kids area was closed due to an accident 24 hours before. Cant bring in cooler. Must go to parking lot to fix meals.... No picnic tables. This place sucks!

Great had an awesome time

My daughter has very sensitive skin and she has to wear a t-shirt over her swimsuits with sunscreen to keep from getting burned. I only allow her to do water activities in short increments. This water park will not allow her to wear her T-shirt over her swimsuit to protect her skin. The splash pad by Bolton park does allow this to keep her from getting burned. I suggest children with special skin needs go to the splash pad at bolton park. They are more considerate of this need.

We went today (06/09), we got there at 12:30 and stood in line for 50 minutes. I have to say, that was the only thing bad about our experience! The park was short staffed today due to some of the life guards being seniors and graduating today. That slowed down the process of getting in and the lazy river not being open. It was most defiantly worth our money and time standing in line! I have a 3 year old and 1 year old and they both LOVED the kiddie section. This will defiantly be a continuous thing for us ! The entire facility (pool,bathrooms,landscape,parking area) was very clean.Tips:-CASH ONLY!!!-NO sandwiches, they check every bag!.. I am unsure why you cannot bring sandwhiches in, but it’s an absolute NO.-If your child states they can swim, they must perform a swim test. They swim all the way across the pool and back in a certain amount of time. If notpassed, they have to wear a life jacket.-Every child that cannot swim, HAS TO wear a life jacket. . Even an infant, from what I saw.-Get there early for a chair!-Consession stand food was very reasonable!

Love this place I may have had more fun then my kids inexpensive lots of fun.

The playground pool was lots of fun the kids loved it. Keep up the cleanliness of the pool.

I want to start with the park itself. It is great! Plenty of area for young kids to play and fun things to do. The park does seem to be short staffed though. They finally opened 30 minutes after they were supposed to. Then closed the big slide 30 minutes after they opened. The head life guard that was on duty...not professional and is not a people person. The only other complaint is that there were children running up the kids waterslide and pushing past kids to go down the slide rather than wait their turn. Which is what kids do...but I never once saw a parent or a lifeguard stop this from happening. Definitely worth a visit though and hopefully they will get the staffing situation under control. Oh, and trying to make a 1-2 year old wear a paper bracelet is also a little rediculous. Clearly they are not old enough to be in the deep end without a life jacket. I dont think that bracelet makes a difference. Probably should let that go.

I have visited this place twice in the last year and every time we go the lazy river is shut down. The first time the lazy river and kiddy park were closed. The second the lazy river and splash pad were closed down. It seems they never have all the attractions available.

A magical summertime family friendly mini swim park! We absolutely love it and are very thankful for such a wonderful affordable adventure!

Fun place . Watch out for people with sticky fingers! My daughter had her goggles stolen though . Several young kids were hanging out by where we were sitting at

After reading multiple reviews, we arrived with a cooler of regular drinks on July 5th, was informed that as of July 4th they no longer allow them. Little kids area and lazy river wasnt open all day. If i knew all that, we would have never drove 1 hour and 10 min to get there. Trust me, this place is nothing special. $1 special (per adult or kid) was the reason I gave it 2 stars

It ok all they need is a diving borad

This was awesome my grandson who was visiting from another state was so happy to play in the water and loved floating down the lazy river!! I was impressed with the number of lifeguards and how friendly everyone was to us and other guests.

Nice place to cool off with the family

Drove a hour and a half just go be told they are closed and the website is wrong!!!! Yet u were able to tell me exactly what it says! Why isnt it fixed if u know!!!!!!! Very very upset!!!

Awesome and cheap! Just have to have the littles one take a swimming test... Ehh didnt care for that part but understood...

We visited for the first time today and we loved it ! Friendly staff, nice and clean, and super fun !

Not a great experience. Water slide was closed, we were told it would open at 2...then at 3...then at 3:30. My daughter waited and waited. The small slides finally opened after we were there almost 2 hours and it was a mad rush with way too many grown kids acting crazy and pushing their way through the little kids to literally slide down a baby/toddler slide. My 3 year old could hardly go up the steps without getting blasted by the water guns by again, grown kids. Every lifeguard we asked had a different answer for us. There needs to be restrictions on the age of people allowed in the kiddie pool, it was ridiculous. I’m sure it’s because the bigger kids wanted something to do since the bigger slide wasn’t open. Thank goodness it was only $1 and a short drive to get there.

Clean and very respectful staff.

This place was amazing and the staff was very nice, Id go back again as a matter of fact I am

Staff is friendly.. bathrooms are supper clean.. an it a great place to spend the day with the kids.

Great place to take kids

Today is the 4th time we have driven the 20 mins each at to go to the park via the hours open on the website. I’ve tried calling but no one answers. My children are very disappointed each time but I have no way of confirming If the park is open. Other than the fact that it states it is open online and he hours are supposed to be 11-6 or 11-8. Today, there was no sign as usual. Just closed. My kids are dying to come here but we can’t find a single day that they are open.

Had a bangarang time here. Park is great. Kids loved it. Everyone is nice. Not enough chairs it seems, but its all gravy baby. Park opens at 12. Prices are 0-2 is free, 3-17 is $2 and adults are $3.Dont you even think about bringing any sammiches in here cause it isnt happenening cuzzo. Concession stand has good food though.Will be back

Its a great place to cool off, but can get overcrowded on weekends

Ok so this place is a very nice aquatic park in the hood! I & my children enjoy it when its not overcrowded & when everything is open.They have a regular pool with water slide attached at 3ft pool drop, kiddie water playground with slides, 2 mini water play areas, & lazy river. However 3s from me. When we first came it was $3 for adults & $2 for children which is good but the water slide wasnt open & the lazy river wasnt either. Then we came the nd time which was fathers day and it was beyond packed, and great fully the water slide was open which seemed like the only spacious place to and the only place where the water was cooler . But the lazy river still wasnt open. Then they ended up shutting the pool down & idk whymaybe understaff, and idek if they opened up the lazy river then but I hope they did cause it was too many ppl to just be trying to crowd in the kiddie area. But I ended up wanting to leave because of the overcrowd . Also the pool only goes to 6ft (barely) so the swim test rule is pointless to me. If the lifeguard puts a life jacket/float on your child they may not go down the waterslide. So make sure you ask about the swim test️

The Lazy River should be open all day ! They close it at 3:45 and they need more chairs.

Very nice environment! You must wear a bathing suit thats a plus!

Very disappointed that we went all the way out there and it was closed. Closing wasn’t posted on the website. No one answered the phones. Families continued to ride through the parking lot who wanted to swim and play but were unaware it was closed. There were a lot of angry people and disappointed kids.

Worse place ever too crowded and all the employees are rude !!! I want here once for my sons bday and it was the worse swimming experience ever!! Never going back Ill enjoy other pools and water parks this sommer

Does anyone know there number to contact them to see if theyre still open bc of the rain today

Nice family fun

For info about Winston Waterworks water park check out the citys website. .. ir has the same hours and rules (plus a few extra) as all the other city pools...

Today was my firs day there... it has everything that Tanglewood has... an a lot cheaper... I will be goin back
