Holding Park Pool


It was "stinkin' hot" outside today, so Jammy (6) and Macho (3-1/2) wanted to go swimming.
There is a great, little, public pool in Holding Park near downtown Wake Forest. From the road, the kids had to go down the big, steep stairs to the bottom floor of the building to enter the pool.
No checks or cards are accepted, so Jammy and Macho brought CASH ONLY!!!
$3 per kid
$4 per adult
No coolers are allowed.
There is a concession stand, but they sell NO WATER.

Jammy and Macho felt pretty safe in the pool because it was not too crowded, and there were three lifeguards on duty.  

There is a slide and a diving board in the deep end of the pool. Jammy tried the slide, but decided that it wasn't his favorite thing.  He can swim, but the deep, deep water still makes him a little bit nervous. Jammy and some other middle-sized kids had a lot of fun in the shallow water, diving after these:

Macho was happiest to spend his time either jumping to Mom from the edge of the pool or checking out the pretty lifeguard.
