Coppell Aquatic and Recreation Center
Tuesday, July 22nd, 10:30 am

It’s
July and the sun should be shining brightly. How ‘bout a little splash and
buckets of wet fun?! Let’s meet at the large playground in front of the pool
at 10:30 am for some playground fun and then take it to the pool about 11
am when they open. Admission is $8 (for non-Coppell residents) from the age
of 3-54 years.
Directions: Take the Frankford exit on I-35 heading
north. Turn left at the light (Hwy. 121) just south of the mall. Follow it
west until you get to Denton Tap Road and then turn left (south). Turn left
at the next light onto Parkway Blvd. Go through the stop sign (don’t forget
to stop) and take the second left into the park parking lot. You can’t miss
the large wooden Kid’s Castle playground or the pool just behind (to the
north) it.

More
wet fun under the sun. This facility just opened on June 18th and was featured
in the ‘Denton County Morning News’ on Friday, June 20th. The article sure
made the place sound fun: four slides, a 600- foot river, a children’s pool
with equipment set in 18-inches of water, an amphitheater, pavilions and
indoor pools. So, how about trying it out? Admission is $8.50 for non-Denton
