Butler has a huge community pool with slides and sprinklers!

While the Butler Aquatic Center isn’t huge, it’s a great option for an afternoon of affordable family fun in the sun. The aquatic center features a seven-lane lap pool, a small “lazy river” loop (tubes for floating are provided), a water slide pool with two large water slides, and a children’s play area with water fountains, small slides, and a large wading area. The aquatic center also has concessions, a grassy area and some covered picnic tables. Parents of little ones should note that life jackets are NOT allowed at the pool. Additionally, patrons are not allowed to bring pool noodles or other floatation devices.

In addition to opportunities for “free swim” the aquatic center offers rentals for birthday parties as well as swim lessons. Patrons can choose from three sessions that run Monday-Friday for two weeks. You can choose from 8 different proficiency levels from “water babies” beginning at 6 months all the way up to “Level 6” in which participants can choose from different options including Lifeguard Readiness or Fundamentals of Diving. If you’re already a proficient swimmer but still want to get some exercise in, the pool also hosts water aerobics! The pool also offers special “sensory swim” times for patrons that may be sensitive to the noise level during normal pool hours.

Outside food and drink is not allowed and concession items must be consumed within a designated area. Visitors can choose from a single day pass, a punch card, or a family season pass for admission, all for very reasonable prices!
