Andrews made significant upgrades to their community pool this year. The new water park turned out to be a big success the first day it was open.

There is a new kiddie pool, a covered shaded area (a plus for anyone who doesn't want to look like a lobster!) and a water ship. Lifeguards will always be on duty so you don't have to worry about your kiddos not being watched while swimming.

The park is open Tuesday through Saturday from 1:00-6:00PM and Sunday from 1:00-5:00PM. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, there is a swim time for anyone 7 years old and younger from 10:00AM-12:00PM.
