I brought my kids here on a day off from school. Open swim hours were 9-11am that day, so we got there shortly after 9:00. (FYI, the address on the website says 205 Lexington Ave N, but it's inside the Oxford Community Center, which is 270 Lexington Ave N, so use that address instead, otherwise GPS will be a little off.) We paid at the front desk (only $4 each, and I had to pay even though I wasn't swimming), then went to the locker rooms to change. Lockers were plentiful, but to have a lock, you had to rent one from the front desk. We opted to go without one. There were 3 different areas: 1) a huge lap pool with diving board; 2) a pool for exiting the water slides; and 3) a zero-depth entry wading pool/splash pad. My kids enjoyed them all, but probably their favorite part was the water slides. After swimming, there are shower spigots and soap dispensers and high automatic dryers for washing off and drying. Outside the community center is a playground, so we played a little more outside too to dry off before piling into the car for the drive home. FYI, this indoor water park is only open during the off-season. It is closed when outdoor water parks are open for the summer. This is a gem -- affordable, fun and diverse. We will be coming back.

First off the pool was amazing and the deepest pool I have ever been in. The showers in the locker room are nice and warm and it is decently spacious. There's even a play area and slide for younger kids! As far as a "waterpark" goes, the only thing adults can use is the pool (which is a very nice pool). The slide and the sauna were both closed on my visit and as far as I could find there was no hot tub. For the reason I was there though, the very large and deep pool was quite lovely.

Love the space and the fact that they let mermaids in. Nice pool that is large so you don't feel like you're swimming on top of other people.
