What makes it 66% Baby-Friendly: Babies enter free and can splash in the warm beach-entry pool and tot slide, yet no listed nursing room and few infant classes mean parents should phone ahead about feeding or quiet space.
Why 2–3 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Enough time for pool play, a quick gym session, and a nearby trail walk without over-tiring your baby.
Zero-depth Leisure Pool:
Bring your baby to the beach-style entry and tot slide area.
Tip: Pack a baby float and swim diapers; supervise within arm’s reach.
Universal Change-Room:
Use the private stalls and accessible shower on the pool deck.
Tip: Ask staff on arrival for a fold-down change table if needed.
West Shore Walkway Trails:
Stroll the easy gravel loops and playground near the centre.
Tip: Bring a lightweight stroller or baby carrier; neat picnic spots available.
Drop-in Gym Sports:
Join open-gym basketball or volleyball with your little one.
Tip: Bring a soft ball and stay near the court edge to involve your baby safely.

The family pool area is warm and shallow with a lazy river. Below the surface of the lazy river the siding is rough and abbrasive.
