You’ll appreciate the lifejackets after spending a long time on the water and on the inflatable obstacle course because you get tired easily on those challenges.

Water Breaks from the Lake

Kirkwood Adventure Park will have (2) 45-minute water break times where everyone is required to get out of the water at 12 pm and 3 pm for safety checks and to give the lifeguards a break. At 5:15 there is a 30 minute break.

The water breaks are a great time to eat a meal, enjoy one of the outdoor games, or walk on the Canopy Trail.

friends at Kirkwood Adventure Park

One of my friends put her life jacket on the back of her lounge chair to dry in between swims which was a great idea.

There is no better way to enjoy the warm weather than by cooling off in a lake.
