Patrons of all ages who are at least 48 inches tall will enjoy our two intertwining waterslides that start from a 21-foot high platform. One is a 175-foot long open flume run-out body slide, and the other is a faster 120-foot closed tube run-out body slide.

Activity and Sports Pool

Another unique feature at The Cove at St. Peters is a 3,200-square-foot Activity and Sports Pool that is  versatile enough to offer something for both kids and adults. This pool is set up with basketball hoops and is great for games like water volleyball and basketball. But it also can be used for aqua aerobics, water walking, lap swimming, and rentals.
