Fun Swim in the Lap Pool 

On Saturday, you’ll find a fun swim in the lap pool at Millennium Place.

Just a short hike from the road is a wildlife underpass that you can explore with the kids. With vehicles on top, a creek and a fun place to explore, it’s one of those places that makes for the perfect fall adventure.
