We weren't able to find a functional website and calls went to voicemail, but we stopped by during the published business hours and they were able to take us with the next group.

They take cash, credit cards and even Venmo/Cash App (assuming you can get cell service!) Helmets optional if over 18. 200 lb weight limit for riders. Long pants and closed toe shoes recommended.

Ask about it, amazing program started by a horse women and a compassionate special ed. teacher. PELIA Equine information is in Facebook you can schedule appointment from the page.

We have clients who travel from Gahanna and Delaware County. English and Western riding are available. Beautiful Shoes has been a part of the community for 20 years, and our instructors have 8-10 years of experience riding, handling horses, and have taught lessons for many of those years. We teach at the student's ability while encouraging them to advance skills at their own speed in a safe environment without undue pressure. We teach beginners up to intermediate levels for children and adults. Scheduling is flexible, available on weekdays and weekends, and we will work with schedules and around other activities as best we can. Our goal is to offer a safe place for kids and adults to enjoy horses and learn to ride. Riding and learning to care for horses can provide connection, responsibility, confidence, and physical conditioning in a fun environment. Our mission is to provide a place for this to happen for kids of all ages, and adults too!

We had three young children with us. You enter through the main pool area and walk to your right out a set of doors. There is a large pool area that is sectioned off for different uses. There is a gradual entry area with a water playground for kids, this is connected to the main part of the pool that gets about 5 feet deep. There are 2 slides that you have to be 48 inches to ride. The lifeguards have a break for 15 minutes after 45 minutes of swimming. All kids have to get out of the water. While waiting there are lots of lounge chairs, a snack shack offer ice cream, hot dogs, pretzels, etc. along with a playground and swing area for the kids. There are also two indoor areas you can take the kids to play with the frog pool for younger kids and the indoor water playground.

Here's a clean, readable Yelp-style review that keeps your experience intact but flows more…read moresmoothly and sounds polished: First Visit to Splash Zone - Overland, Ohio This was my first visit to Splash Zone in Overland, Ohio. Registration is a bit of a process. You first have to create a profile through the Lorain County Metro Parks system, then return to the Splash Zone site to register for a specific program on a designated day and time. Once registered, the system shows your cost--mine initially showed $0. I arrived about 30 minutes early on the morning of my class, which turned out to be helpful because I had to re-register in person. After completing that, I was told there would normally be a $3 fee due to my SilverSneakers account. However, the woman at the front desk kindly let me attend for free that day, explaining that future visits would be $3. Since I'd never been there before, I had to navigate through several locker and pool areas. There are multiple pools separated by glass dividers with automatic doors--someone shared a helpful tip that the small black box above the door shows which side to stand on to trigger it. The instructor came in without much of an introduction, set up a small carry-on-size speaker, put on her headset, and began the class. The workout was aqua Tabata (a Japanese-style interval workout): 20 seconds of fast-paced movement followed by 10 seconds of rest. The class lasted 45 minutes. I stayed for about 30 minutes, choosing to leave early since shower space is limited and I like to be considerate of others. The workout itself was excellent, and being in the water felt really good. The showers, however, were not great--hair on the floor and a general "public park" feel, even at 10:30 a.m. I was glad I wore water shoes. On the plus side, the water temperature and the very hot shower afterward were appreciated. The instructor mentioned that this is her business and encouraged people to connect on Facebook (with a profile photo), and it's clear she's very talented. Overall, despite a few logistical and cleanliness issues, I'd go back again--and next time, I'd happily pay the $3 when I'm in town.

I went for aqua aerobics. These signs were on the wall for motivation.

I wanted clarification. Does Candlewood add a $7 fee for any paper check that is sent to them? Members, using ACH have experienced Candlewood taking money out of their checking account long after they have moved. Others have had deductions for charges they have not known they had. I don't like having money deducted from my checking account when no statement is ever sent out. I rarely contact the office and am patient when I do, but I have found them unresponsive. How hard is it to hit reply to my email and answer my question "is there a $6.95 fee for every paper check Candlewood lake receives"? So 5 stars for the lake, 2 stars for the office averages to3.5 stars minus .5 stars for aggravation!
