After nearly 3 months for my children to play in all of the pools of the Highlands Ranch Community Association, I asked my children this morning which were their favorites this year. You have just a few days, and in the case of Westridge - today, to enjoy the outdoor pools.
Here is my kids recap:
Both of the kids loved the Eastridge Outdoor Pool. First place no doubt. It seemed to have the most options, with a bit deeper water, possibilities for lap swimming, racing each other down the side by side slides and then escaping indoors for the giant slide.
Neither was willing to put the Northridge pool at the top of the list - they said it was great when they were a bit younger as the kiddie pool was better than most but they felt that the teenagers "own" the Northridge pool, so they would wait a few more years to call that their home.
The Westridge Pool was a toss up. My daughter still seems to enjoy the slide there but my son is ready to move on to bigger & better things. The Westrdge Outdoor Pool has a zero entry and is pretty shallow all around - its great for a quick dip in the neighborhood or for those with little ones to keep a close eye on.
Southridge did get thumbs up from both kids, and they both agreed it could be a second place winner. They couldn't really put their finger on it but I am sure it had something to do with being able to escape inside to the lazy river.
The pools are closing this weekend and by Tuesday all of the HRCA outdoor pools will be closed. You can view the schedule here. If you live in a Highlands Ranch neighborhood with its own private pool, you may have a little more time, depending on the neighborhood. Some of those will stay open through the month of September, weather permitting.
Next week I will ask my kids to help me write a review on the indoor pools.
