点评:The Quarry used to be an oasis of calm, but since being purchased by a nonprofit, it has turned into a glorified day camp for unruly kids. There's not a minute in the day that you can enjoy the once peaceful surroundings of this natural setting.
Multiple-day and season passes used to be the only option for swimming here. Now that day passes are sold, the place is completely overrun by mobs of obnoxious teenagers. Parents are more than happy to spend $25 to drop their kid off for the day. During the week, actual day camps have the place until 3 p.m., so you don't want to go then. And don't even think about coming on a weekend or holiday! It's a madhouse.
I no longer see families with young children here. The pool is empty most of the time. It's too expensive for families. The snack bar is closed, so there's no affordable food. They sell tiny blobs of gourmet ice cream for $6 and ice sticks for $3. Food trucks sell overpriced, mediocre food on the weekends. Families have to pack their own food and drinks if they want to spend the day, and it's too much trouble. The bathrooms also are closed. A port-a-potty truck is onsite, but the cubicles are too small to allow a parent to help a young child.
The nonprofit now owns this place in perpetuity, so this is what to expect going forward. It's a shame. When it was family-owned, this place was a gem. It's a waste of money now to buy a season pass – the camps and day-trippers have priority over those who have spent the most money. If you must, buy a day pass and decide for yourself.
翻译:采石场曾经是一片平静的绿洲,但自从被一家非营利组织收购后,它变成了一个为不守规矩的孩子提供美化的日间营地。一天中没有一分钟可以享受这个自然环境曾经宁静的环境。
多日和季票曾经是在这里游泳的唯一选择。现在当天的通行证已经售完,这个地方完全被一群令人讨厌的青少年所淹没。父母们非常乐意花 25 美元送他们的孩子一天。在一周中,真正的日间营会一直持续到下午 3 点,所以您不想去。甚至不要考虑在周末或假期来!这是一个疯人院。
我不再在这里看到有小孩的家庭。游泳池大部分时间都是空的。对家庭来说太贵了。小吃店关门了,所以没有买得起的食物。他们以 6 美元的价格出售小块美味冰淇淋,以 3 美元的价格出售冰棒。周末,快餐车出售价格过高、平庸的食物。一家人要想度过一天就得自己打包吃的和喝的,太麻烦了。浴室也关闭了。现场有一辆便盆卡车,但隔间太小,父母无法帮助年幼的孩子。
非营利组织现在永久拥有这个地方,所以这是未来的期望。这是一个耻辱。当它是家族所有时,这个地方是一颗宝石。现在买季票是浪费钱——营地和一日游的人优先于那些花钱最多的人。如果必须,请购买一日通行证并自行决定。
