Really nice activity center. We went there with my kids this weekend. The pool was very nice and…read morewell lit. The sauna was very nice and had that fresh wood smell. They have very nice basketball gym with a running track above it. They also have a great workout area with weights and cardio machines. My only issue was we went Saturday morning to ask when they were open and I was told that the pool was open until 8 pm. That it specifically closed a half hour before the building. We showed up at 6 pm and the person at the front said the pool was closed and picked up the little paper notification paper to show me. Cool but the earlier person should have said that and let me know. Instead I drove and got 4 little kids ready and then had to deal with dissapointed kids. The next day was super nice but no one really seemed to care what happened the day before. My suggestion to the owner is maybe work on the management process of the facility. It is super nice and you own a lot of other well run property in town. This should be the shining gem of Minong. I will be back and hope to have better communication on open times when I do.

COVID REVIEW!!! (and regular review too)…read more I love swimming, and so do my kids. And I'm willing to drive for a pool. Anoka Aquatic is one of the only pools in the metro area open to the public and HUGE props to their Covid protocols. Their website may not be updated. FB seems to be updated regularly. Originally they were going to sell season passes to residents only, but I guess they didnt sell as many as they thought, so there are online sales for anyone!! Up to 7 days before you want to swim, go to the Anoka "Open Swim" page and chose your tickets. They do frequently sell out. They are not refundable, but at $5.50 they are not a huge splurge in my budget. Print your tickets. When you arrive, your tickets will be scanned and SO WILL YOUR FACE. This includes a temperature check. This made me feel super good, but I know not everyone would want a scan of their face. Whatever. Today is not 2002 and we are not being freaked out by a weird Tom Cruise movie about facial recognition anymore. There are no chairs this year, so bring your own. The day we went was sold out, but felt reasonable in the crowd. In addition to the pool deck, there is a large grassy shady area where you can spread out (popular with parents of slightly older kids, good for anyone for spreading out for lunch) You can bring in a cooler for your lunch, but the concession stand is open. I think things are different on weekdays vs weekends, but on the day we visited they closed the pool from 3-4 pm to clean. We would have been allowed to re enter, and we certainly could have used this time to chill in the park right next to the pool. But we decided we had had enough. I thought the Covid logistics were very satisfying. Now on to the pool! This pool is not huge. But it as a sold pool, and worth $5.50. Large areas of shallow, and the lifeguards were constantly reminding people to stay near the littles kids instead of letting them walk into deeper water. Cool. Theres a lily pad crossing that my 8 and 12 year old liked. A diving board! And a climbing wall! There is a waterslide which is fun, but not as fun as the one are my preferred community pool. I suggest going down sitting up, bc the bumps can be brutal on your back vs your butt. The lifeguards totally made my 8 year old do a swim check, which I think is cool. The deep area is not huge either, but enough room to hang out for a bit and my kids and I loved being in deep pool water, which is always a treat but especially this summer.

The Anoka aquatic center deserves a solid 3. It is the cheapest option in the area, and it is a bit…read moreof you get what you get. For summer 2026, their water slides and water sprayer features are unavailable. You still have access to the water walk, rock wall and small diving board. It's lots of families with elementary and younger kids. Swim diaper and life jackets are allowed so swim at your own risk (someone pooped in the pool as we were leaving) Not much for teens and adults. They advertise no outside food or beverage but it was not enforced.

That waterslide with the lights and music? Awesome! It's a one of a kind experience. Beyond the waterpark the playground was also great. It's not your average playground; it's big, well designed and has tons of opportunities for kids to explore and play. What really makes Shoreview Community Center stand out is the community. They offer so much more than just a pool and playground. From the fitness center to the skatepark they have created a space for all interests and ages. It's clear they have invested in making a valuable resource for everyone.

What an amazing indoor water park for the family! We went here for a kiddos birthday party. The…read morecabanas are in Bamboo Bay area vs the main pool area. Bamboo Bay is much louder than the main pool area due to the fact it's more enclosed and there are sprayers with lots of water all over. The lifeguards do a great job of keeping their eyes on the kiddos cause it can get very very packed in both pool areas and kids of all different ages including adults too! The bathrooms and lockers are great and all facilities are pretty new and kept clean. I do love the spinner to spin clothes after swim time... As a side note, if you're like me and just hung out with other parents while the kiddos swam...it can get very very hot and humid so dress accordingly even in the winter time!

I was very disappointed with our experience at Webber's Natural Swimming Pool. My 8-year-old son…read moreand my other children are confident, experienced swimmers, yet we were repeatedly told they had to stay within arm's length of me at all times. To help the lifeguards feel more comfortable, I even put life jackets on my children, but it still wasn't enough. Throughout our visit, my kids weren't allowed to swim away from me and had to remain right next to me the entire time, which made it impossible for them to enjoy the pool. As we were leaving, I read the posted sign, which stated that children under 8 must be accompanied by a parent. Since my son is 8 years old, I questioned why this rule was being enforced on him. I was told the sign was a "typo," which was frustrating and confusing. If the posted rules are incorrect, they should be updated instead of expecting guests to follow rules that aren't clearly communicated. I also couldn't help but notice that my family appeared to be the only Muslim family there. I don't know whether that influenced how we were treated, but the experience left me feeling singled out. I hope management reviews how policies are communicated and applied so that all families are treated consistently and respectfully. In the photo :: The life guard who kept telling all the other life guards to look at my kids and make sure they stay within arms reach. We had to follow our kids around the pool and they weren't allowed in middle of the pool due to me not getting in.

Because it is a biofiltered pool, the water isn't as clear as a chlorinated pool, but it still felt clean and well maintained. I came here with some friends the day before the Fourth of July and was surprised it wasn't as packed as it could've been! Some things to note: 1. Bags are inspected upon entry. 2. Outside food and beverages are not allowed (although I had a water bottle and they let it through). 3. There's no changing room onsite, but there's a bathroom that can be used for changing. 4. There's lots of lawn space to spread out. 5. While there's no parking lot, there's ample street parking. Definitely a place to add to the summer rotation :)

Onto the positive...the zero entry is great for little ones. Tons of shade so you can get away with applying sunscreen less.
