General Information
The Frog Pond is a great place to hang out and relax during the summer. The pool has a zero-depth entry for those wanting to take their time and ease into the water. It also has a maximum depth of eight feet for those who want to make a splash and jump
right in!
The Frog Pond has a children's pool equipped with a water-spouting whale and a bubbler. There are four slides in the big pool - three tube slides and a frog slide.
There is also plenty of room to sit back and enjoy
the sunshine poolside. Coolers, food, and non-alcoholic drinks are allowed.
Concessions are offered through the Lilly Pad Café, which is operated by Hethwood Market in
Blacksburg. For more information, contact them at (540) 951-0990 or visit the Hethwood Market Facebook page.
Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by
an individual age 16 or older.

Refund Policy
Upon entrance to the Frog Pond, a sales receipt is given. The time of payment is printed at the bottom of the receipt. This will allow staff to see what time patrons entered the pool.
If the pool closes for any reason within exactly two hours
or less of your arrival, we issue a pool pass for future use during the season. No refunds are given for any reason.
If you no longer have possession of the receipt, we cannot verify what time you entered the facility and
no pass will be given. Please keep your receipt.
Re-entry to the Frog Pond is not allowed.
Inclement Weather Policy
In the event that lighting is seen or thunder is heard, all guests must exit the pool for 30 minutes. Additional instances of lightning and thunder will result in a restart of the 30 minute timer.
