We vistied Cortez Pool this summer and had a blast! The water slide were fast (but not too fast to be scary), our 8 year old loved the diving boards, and the zero depth entry pool went waist deep on our 4 year old, which was perfect. Also, a bonus was the large shade structures over this small pool! It really helped battle the afternoon heat.
The Kool Kids program offers complimentary open swim entry for young people at designated City of Phoenix pools.
