The Largest Outdoor Swimming Pool In Utah Can Be Found At Deseret Peak

When the temperatures climb and the kids are whining, "We're soooo bored," you need to pack them up in the car and head west to Tooele. That's right - Tooele is home to Utah's largest outdoor public swimming pool, and it's tons of fun for the whole family.

You'll find The Deseret Peak Complex along Highway 112 in Tooele. This huge complex includes an equestrian race track, BMX track, motocross track, softball and baseball fields, an archery park, and an aquatic center.

The Energy Solution Aquatic Center is one of the best places to be on a hot, summer day. The largest pool in Utah, it holds 750,000 gallons of nice, refreshing water.

Kids of all ages love the wading area with plenty of sprinklers that will drench them from head to toe. The beach area has a zero-entry, so even the littlest swimmers can splash and play.

The eight-lane, Olympic-sized swimming pool is perfect for practicing your backstroke or butterfly. The deep end of the pool is 12 feet deep, and you can practice diving on the two diving boards.

One of the pool's most popular features is its waterslide. Go on a twisting, turning thrill ride before making a splash into the pool below.

Lifeguards are on duty to keep everyone safe, but if your kids don't know how to swim, you can sign them up for lessons right here!

After a morning of swimming and splashing, you'll want to grab some snacks from the concession stand.

Make sure to arrive early so you can claim a lounge chair...

...this pool fills up on hot summer days!
