Exploring the Lower Paxton Township Friendship Center's Water Fun Options

The Lower Paxton Township Friendship Center is a popular destination for families seeking water-based activities, including swimming lessons and recreational use of their warm water pool. During our recent visit, we discovered that the center offers an exciting big water slide in addition to lap lanes and a separate warm water pool geared towards kids.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the sound of children's laughter as they enjoyed swimming lessons in progress. The family locker room was conveniently located near the pools, providing a comfortable space for changing, showering, and storing belongings. Although the regular men's and women's locker rooms may offer more space, the family locker room met our needs with its set of changing rooms, showers, and bathroom.

To secure the use of the family locker room, we left our car keys as collateral at the front desk in exchange for a locker key. The staff was accommodating, allowing us to borrow keys for the lockers available in the family locker room. We opted for this convenient option, taking advantage of the additional space and amenities.

For non-members, the daily guest fee provides access to the facilities, including the water slide and warm water pool. Fortunately, our one-year-old did not require an admission fee, making it an affordable outing for our family. As we planned to visit the center regularly, we considered purchasing a membership for more frequent use of their facilities.

Located just off Highway 83 in Harrisburg, the Friendship Center is easily accessible by car. With its water slide and play elements, the center is an excellent choice for families seeking fun in the water. Be sure to check their website for updates on their reopening as they transition into the Friendship YMCA and prepare to reopen in January 2021.

Overall, our experience at the Lower Paxton Township Friendship Center was enjoyable, with friendly staff, clean facilities, and a great selection of water-based activities for visitors of all ages.
