Keewaydin Park Wading Pool

Keewaydin shares property with the school of the same name; therefore, its wading pool opens after school releases and closes before school starts in the fall. The pool is one of the last remaining round wading pools.

Keewaydin Recreation Center

The recreation center offers a community kitchen, a craft room, a couple meeting/multi-purpose rooms and a computer lab. This is not one of the air-conditioned facilities.
