About
The Town Pool, located at 188 NY-146 in Altamont, NY, is a popular seasonal outdoor aquatic facility operated by the Town of Guilderland. It typically features a main pool, often with a diving area, and a separate shallow kiddie pool, serving as a community hub for recreational swimming, lessons, and summer activities.
Specific pool temperatures for the Town Pool are not typically publicly advertised. As an outdoor seasonal facility, the water temperature generally fluctuates with the ambient air temperature, and the pools are typically unheated or minimally heated.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The venue is largely praised as a fun and enjoyable place, particularly on warm days. Reviewers frequently highlight the large, clean pools, which offer ample space even when crowded, and commend the caring and friendly staff. Additional positives include available amenities like pavilions, barbecue stations, and electricity, as well as a well-stocked concession stand with reasonable prices and a good variety of ice cream. However, the most significant and consistent criticism focuses on the poor cleanliness and maintenance of the bathrooms and changing rooms. These facilities are described as gross, vile, and often feature standing water and spider webs, leading to suggestions for improved upkeep and more frequent cleaning, such as regular mopping.

I like most things about it. The pools are are a good size, clean, lifeguards on duty. The concession has three standard choices and a nice variety of ice cream . The bathrooms aren't maintained well, though. I took my grandson in there to change his clothes and was grossed out. It's big, with several shower stalls, but needs to be cleaned.

Love taking my kid here. Large pool. Good amount of space. Even when its crowded you can find space to be by yourselves. Concession stand is pretty well stocked and prices are very reasonable. Biggest complaints lie in the cleanliness of the changing rooms and bathrooms. The family bathroom is absolutely vile. There are spider webs in every corner, there is always a puddle of water with no kind of slip protection on the floor. The changing rooms are better, but not by much. Same complaints, there is always standing water in the stalls. I realize that it's a pool and keeping things dry is a challenge, but having someone mop up water during the day every couple of hours would be a really easy way to mitigate things. Seeing as the aforementioned facilities are practically new, it would be nice to see Guilderland Parks and Rec invest in their upkeep.
