Weather Policy

Our top concern is the personal safety of all our families and guests in our park. We follow DoD policies on water safety, and operate the facility under the professional direction of a Certified Pool Operator.

Our Lightning Early Warning System enables us to receive data concerning weather conditions which is not accessible to the general public. The following protocol is in place for your safety, and will be announced over intercom throughout the operating day by our staff:

RED

Everyone must exit the water and evacuate the water park. It is unsafe for patrons to be on deck and in the bathrooms.

YELLOW

Patrons must exit the water and we must wait to see the next 30 minute report.

GREEN

The Park is safe for all patrons to swim and remain on deck.

Pool Equipment

POOL EQUIPMENT

We will continue to provide free-to-use life jackets for anyone in need. However, when returning them, they must be placed in the RETURN BIN instead of the window so they can be properly disinfected before being returned to the storage rack.
We will not provide kickboards this year. 

Lounge chairs and tables will be disinfected regularly.

 We will NOT BE PROVIDING toddler toys for the toddler pool area. However, patrons are welcome to bring their own water toys for toddlers to and from the park; please do not share. 


LAP LANES

Lap Lanes will be available during normal operating hours. A maximum of two (2) people are permitted in each lap lane at a time. Swimmers are limited to 30-minute lap lane sessions. 

Refund Policy

Memberships are non-refundable and non-transferrable. Failure to utilize membership during the season, complete your membership purchase, or provide background check data or photos does not constitute grounds for a refund. Members who are unsatisfied with their pool membership experience will not be offered a refund at any time regardless of circumstances.

Failure to adhere to Frog Falls Park Policies, Rules and Guidelines may result in expulsion from the Park and barring from the Picatinny Arsenal and/or Frog Falls. No refunds will be issued as a result.

Procedures, guidelines, polices and rules may change during the season, especially those specifically crafted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Facility policies to include capacity guidelines, guest access, pool seating, food services, lessons, feature access and hours of operation are subject to change without notice. Changes in these policies will not constitute grounds for refunds of membership fees.
