Folsom Aquatic Center

Specs
Type: Swimming
Distance: Short Drive
Area: Folsom
Ages: All Ages
Cost: $
Information: www.folsom.ca.us
I think the Folsom Aquatic Center is just that little bit better than Gauche, but I will always plug Guache to Grass Valley residents because it's closer and less crowded. The Folsom Center has a few extra things going for it, though, including a 165 foot long water slide, four diving boards, inner tubes and an obstacle course that you pay a little extra for, but is great fun for older kids (it was too difficult for my then 6- and 7-year-olds).

Like Gauche, the Folsom Center has a spray pool with water cannons and other squirting/splashing equipment that kids can operate themselves, smaller water slides and some of those buckets that fill/tip at regular intervals (like the one they have at Golfland Sunsplash, only smaller).

It's worth the drive maybe once or twice a season, because it is a very fun place and is similar in price to Gauche--very inexpensive for a family of four and much, much less than neighboring Golfland Sunsplash.
