Deborah Anne Kirwan Pool (formerly Clifford Bowey Pool)
Definitely a family and pre-teen oriented pool. It's great as an urban lagoon, with waterslides, a rope swing, and plenty of shallow-water hangout space. Lap swimmers will be disappointed, however. During family and leisure swims, there are no lanes at all, and the water is too warm for serious swimming.
