Kirby Creek Natatorium offers a heated indoor pool open year-round for pool parties, exercise, and learn-to-swim programs.

Splash Factory is an interactive water park just south of Jefferson and west of Beltline, behind Charley Taylor Recreation Center. Age-specific play areas include a water wall, ground sprays, play structures, a magic-touch water gun, spray cannons, and power geysers.
