What could be more fun than a refreshing dip in the pool? A day at the Vredenburg-Chariton Family Aquatic Center!
Located adjacent to Bingham Park in Chariton, the center is filed to the brim with good, clean fun. With more than 13,400 square feet of water surface area, the 372,000-gallon pool has dozens of family-friendly features.

Very young children will enjoy a shallow water fire truck slides, rain drop fountain and various sprays. Parents will especially like relaxing on the in-water seating.
There is also a six lane 25-meter lap lane area for serious swimmers and a three-meter high dive and a lower one-meter diving board.
