Parks & Recreation
Aquatics: The Frog Pond

 

The Frog Pond is now CLOSED for the 2011 season!

Stay tuned for the summer 2012 opening! See you there!

The Frog Pond is a great place to hang out and relax during the summer. The pool has a zero depth entry for those wanting to take their time and ease into the water. It also has a maximum depth of eight feet for those who want to make a splash and jump right in.

The Frog Pond has a children's pool equipped with a water spouting whale and a bubbler. There are five slides - four tube slides and a frog slide - from which you can surely make a splash!

For those of you who just want to hang out in the sun, there is plenty of room for you, too.

NEW!! We are pleased to announce our new services that will be available through the Lilly Pad Cafe concession stand at the Frog Pond! We now not only offer great concessions at great prices, but now we can accommodate all of your pool party and daycare needs! We offer a wide array of items for pool parties such as pizza, birthday cakes and anything else you might need to make your party a splash. The Lilly Pad Cafe has special menu options for all daycares that visit the Frog Pond - all they ask if for 48-hours' notice if you would like to take advantage of these options. The Lilly Pad Cafe is brought to you by Hethwood Market. Click here for more information and menu items! 

 

Introducing our Family Swim Nights!!! Beginning this summer the Frog Pond will extend its hours on Tuesday nights to 8 p.m. during the regular season, after Montgomery County schools have closed and will end once County schools are in session. The Family Swim Nights will allow everyone to come out and enjoy the Frog Pond after work and have some good family fun. Entry costs to the pool will be the same, but if you still have your receipt that day you can stay and keep splashing right on ‘til dark. Come and join the fun, we hope to see you there.
