There is a kiddie pool. During the week, the pool area is quite empty. It can get really busy over the weekends if the weather is wonderful. The tennis courts have just been refurbished. You must be a member at Pinetop Neighborhood Resort to utilize this facility. I met many new friends here. There is enough parking in the lot. I'll be back next year.

Very nice swim club and you don't have to live in the neighborhood to join!…read more The pool is pretty shallow, I think 5 feet at the deepest point, which makes it great for kids and for relaxing. There are 2 seating benches in the pool - really good feature to stay cool while still reading your book. The only downside is the pool isn't that big. You can't really use it for swimming. And if there are a lot of kids in the pool, its hard to avoid getting splashed. There's ample seating, plenty of tables and umbrellas throughout the dry deck. The dry deck and the bathrooms are always clean!

There is quite a bit of seating but it does get very busy especially on weekends and holidays. The snack bar is a nice addition that the smaller Turnstone pool doesn't have, it has pretty good food and is pretty cheap. I do wish it had more parking because it does get busy at the pool but also shares the same parking lot as everyone going to play tennis.

It's been home for the Cyclones , a local swim-team for kids preschool-12th grade, which keeps them conditioned, learning and honing their strokes and developing team building skills. This experience has been invaluable to many in the community. They have ample room for adult swimmers during adult swim. The kids all look like they are having a great time whenever I have been there.

The pool is surrounded by tall trees and gets a bit of shade later in the afternoon. There's a small diving board. You can buy drinks and popcorn fairly cheaply or get pizza delivered, and there's a grill for cooking out. It's a relaxed place to take your kids to the pool, or get a bit of sun. It's not optimal for swimming laps for a serious workout, but you could definitely do a few laps if you wanted to get in a little exercise. We were so happy to find this easygoing local spot to cool off in the summer in Hillsborough!

This park is perfectly lined with trees in abundance. Perfect for barbecuing. We enjoyed our morning picnic and the water was very relaxing. I appreciate how clean the sand area was and the garbage was well organized as well. I brought my mother who is 72 and I had concerns about the proximity of the restrooms and showers and overall access. I was relieved to discover how convenient the beach access was for those with mobility impairment and disabilities. There are no pets allowed and no alcohol permitted. I watched the park rangers escort someone with a pit bull to the parking lot to return home and a woman was asked to dump out several beer cans. You have been warned. They run a tight ship here.
