Cool Off and Relax: Pools at Shades of Green 💦☀️
Whether you’re looking to splash with the kids or just kick back and unwind, Shades of Green has the perfect spot to cool off.
The resort features two outdoor pools—Mill Pond Pool and Magnolia Pool—along with a splash pad, hot tub, and playground. Each area offers something a little different, so there’s space for both high-energy fun and quiet relaxation.
We spend a lot of time here during our trips. From lazy poolside afternoons with a drink in hand to quick evening dips to wrap up a park day, the pool areas are one of our favorite places to recharge.
On this page, you’ll find a breakdown of each pool area, what’s nearby, and tips for making the most of your time in the water.
Pools, Splash Pad, and Hot Tub 💧
The Mill Pond Pool is the main pool—big, lively, and perfect for families. It features a fun water slide and a nearby splash pad that’s ideal for younger kids who want to play safely in shallow water.
Prefer a more laid-back vibe? Head to the Magnolia Pool, tucked in a quieter corner of the resort. With its peaceful setting, zero-entry access, and hot tub, it’s perfect for adults or anyone who just wants to relax.
And there’s more to enjoy outside the water too. Right next to the Mill Pond Pool and Evergreens, you’ll find a small playground where little ones can climb, explore, and burn off some energy.
Life Jackets 🛟
Shades of Green provides life jackets for children at the pool areas. You’re also welcome to bring your own—just make sure it’s Coast Guard Approved, as that’s a safety requirement.
Pool Towels 🧺
Towels are available right at the pool, so there’s no need to bring your own from the room. Just be sure to return them in the designated towel bins when you’re done swimming.
🌡️ Warm and Welcoming Waters
Even when the temperatures drop, the fun doesn’t stop. Both pools at Shades of Green are heated to a cozy 82ish degrees during the cooler months — perfect for year-round swimming and relaxation.
