We were excited to go to our favorite swimming hole in Soddy-Daisy this weekend. Only to find out that they closed the only parking lot for construction of a ranger station. So we took the advice of our family/friends that live there and checked out Chester Frost Park.
It is a lake I believe but I could be wrong. It wasn't like the Blue Hole but it was better than nothing. On our way there we stopped at the Walmart Marketplace (only about 5 minutes from the park, which is convenient), to grab some snacks (which is cheaper than a convenience store/gas station).
This is the sign upon entering. We got there about 10 am.
There is a great playground
This was when we first arrived. Not a lot of people were there.
Kennedie and myself sat in this shelter the time we were there. By the time we left a lot of people had taken most of the tables.

Cale and dad had a great time. Apparently this wasn't Kennedie's jam because she sat with me and read while they stayed in the water.
They had a blast spraying each other with the water gun.
This guy was in hog heaven!! He's been cooped up in the house with his sister most of the summer and this is the first time we've been able to get him in the water!
Two peas in a pod!
It was a really pretty area.
This was as we were leaving at 1230 it was starting to get more and more people.
When we first arrived these ladies were taking kayaks and paddleboards out of a closet where the picnic tables were. They were for rent, I thought that was a neat service to provide right at the lake.
Overall it was a great way to spend 3 hours even if it wasn't at the place we originally intended on visiting.
