OPEN SWIM:

When the land fun ends, the water play begins. The Autism Alliance of Barry County (AABC) and Uncivilized Vitality (UV) have the park reserved for most of the day, to include the beach. We will not be hosting any events at the water front, but it will be available to everyone to cool off and enjoy at the end of the event. Important items to note:

  1. AABC & UV are not hosting an event in the water and assume no responsibility for those choosing to partake in water play.
  2. There will be no life guards available. Any water play is at your own risk.
  3. The waterfront will be available for families to enjoy after 1pm, once the event has concluded.
