Rosemeade Rainforest Aquatic Complex – Carrollton, Texas
It gets hot in Texas and one way to enjoy the hot weather is taking yourself to a two-splash park at Oak Hills Park and W.J. Thomas Park. Each is unique and free to visit. The Rosemeade Rainforest Aquatic Complex is an exciting destination that features a 600-gallon dump bucket, a 200-foot lazy river, zero-depth entry pools, a splash pad, 25-meter lap lanes, and two 22-foot tall water slides.
The best part of this section is that it is closed off from the main pool area by a gated fence. This means it is easy to keep an eye on multiple small children so that they don’t wander into deeper water. There isn’t anywhere that the water gets deeper in the Rosemeade Rainforest area. The play area is separated from the lazy river so that you actually have to get out of the water to move to the lazy river. The slides in this area do not empty into a pool but into a shallow straight area at the base of the slide. If you have non-swimmers or swimmers that you are not quite confident in, you can let them play and romp in this area with no worries.

The City of Carrollton takes a proactive approach in maintaining a safe environment for swimmers at local public pools. According to the Centers for Disease Control Prevention (CDC), there is no evidence that COVID-19 can spread to people through the water used in pools, hot tubs, or water playgrounds. Proper operation and disinfection of pools, hot tubs, and water playgrounds should kill the virus that causes COVID-19. They recommend you limit close contact with people outside your home in public spaces, both in and out of the water.
“Our standard is to operate swimming pools well above the minimum state requirements,” commented Kim Bybee, Parks Manager. “We take a proactive approach to water treatment. The water at Rosemeade Rainforest, Oak Hills Splash Park, and Thomas Splash Park are all treated using chlorine and UV systems. Many of our chemical controllers allow us to remotely regulate and control chemical levels 24 hours a day. Our goal is to provide the safest swimming environment possible under the guidelines provided by the State of Texas.”
