The Splash at Fossil Trace
The Splash really is a great outdoor pool. It’s best for younger kids, as most of the facility is geared for kids 10 and younger. Not that older kids and adults can’t have fun, but the slides are pretty short and the “fun” pool is pretty shallow.
It’s not nearly as busy as pirates cove and it’s much more peaceful. You can bring in food, so that’s nice.
Tip: get there when it opens to snag a chair or table in the shade.
