Super Splash Park,

625 South Lewis Lane, Carbondale, IL 62901

"Kids do have a lot of fun here. Staff is super nice. See pics on the website. One good waterslide, one walk-in pool that gets up to 3.5 feet deep with a kids slide/playground in the shallow. They like the huge bucket of water that dumps a lot of water over a group of people. Deep pool with small area with diving board and people are also allowed to play in this area. There is one lap lane, but most of the time, people are standing around in there or playing. Some days bushes full of kids come. It's impressive to see the adults sit the kids down, review the pool rules with them, and supervise their behavior. However, not all groups do that, and they can be too rowdy, and the life guards really don't stop all the rough housing. It was better than I expected except for a few things. Opens at 12. Get there early if. You are going to sit in a pool chair in the shade. They have huge umbrellas but not a lot of shady areas. There is only one umbrella by a deep water pool. Carbondale gets hot! People seemed to reserve spots in the shade at the picnic tables, too, by putting coolers and leaving junk on table tops while they were swimming. Maybe they could have a place for picnic baskets or cooler off the tables that you could get out when you are ready to eat, leaving room for others to eat. No food allowed on pool deck, but numerous times I've seen moms carry plates of hotdogs to their kids on pool chairs on deck. More than once, people have left food leftovers and garbage under the chairs. Could probably be monitored better."

"Very good pool for kids. The lazy river is very relaxing for big kids and adults. There is a deeper pool for those that want diving boards. We loved the splash pad and kiddie pool area. The bathroom facilities were very clean and the employees were super nice. Definitely visit again."

"Duper good I kinda drowned in the pool of the water slide because I wasn't expecting it to be so deep but other that that super good diving bored the bucket droper super fun one of the best water parks in carbondale"

"Very clean, very strict on the rules. We had a great day. My grandkids range in age 5 to 10 and we all had fun. Absolutely no running, must be tall enough to ride the slide, able to take a swim test to be able to use the diving board for smaller kiddos, must stay in your tube and keep head above the tube in the lazy river. All good rules, just giving you a heads up they are strict with the rules."

"Super strict rules which is great for little ones and safety. Would trust to drop my older kids off. Love the lazy pool"
