I’m a country girl. I grew up in a farm town, and I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a community pool. Well, I saw them on television, but they looked kind of gross and dirty. So, when a friend mentioned taking her kids to the Lewisville Pool I was a little shocked.
She’s a good friend though, so I decided to trust her. I loaded up my kid, and we headed to the Old Town Lewisville Pool. This park is so cheap, and you bring your own food, so you can get out of there for next to nothing. It has a water slide for the bigger kids, and there’s almost never a line so they can slide down it all day. Your little ones can play in the beach entry pool or in the fountains.
My daughter brings her tea party set and just sits on the side all day serving tea to her friends. (Don’t bring toys you don’t want to get lost though–I had a small altercation with a woman over an ice cream cone scoop last year.)
They have season passes if you’re into the swimming thing, and they are good at both Lewisville Pools for the year. That’s nice because the other, more expensive pool across town has a lot more for kids to do as a special treat, but we usually avoid that one because of the insane crowds.
If you are like me and looking for some cheap fun this summer I suggest you check out the Lewisville Pools. Here’s all the important information you need to know!
Remember, each pool is closed one day a week, so that means the other one will be way more crowded that day, so I usually avoid Wednesdays and Thursdays all together.

this is very interesting to read, thank you for sharing this post.
It has places for all ages to have fun (although it doesn’t have a deep pool like Sun Valley Pool which is a BONUS in my book since I have a new-swimmer!)
The Old Town pool rocks! It has places for all ages to have fun (although it doesn’t have a deep pool like Sun Valley Pool which is a BONUS in my book since I have a new-swimmer!)
And, just in case a day of swimming doesn’t poop your kids out completely, there’s a nice playground right next to the Old Town water park to play in!

We LOVE old town. We are cheap too.
My kids are younger and we love the Old Town pool. And you’re right the prices can’t be beat.
