Got shade?!
We had intense straight winds finish off one of our Base Pool Shade canopies last summer but the installers are here today making us whole!
The pool is in great shape, the climbing wall cleaned and holds remapped, two lanes for lap swimming anytime we’re open, the baby/wading pool, the Tortoise & Twister slides, and all the fresh air you can consume! Life’s pretty good at The Base Pool.
