What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Watervliet Pool is overwhelmingly praised as a fantastic, clean, and relaxing community amenity, particularly following its new additions. Reviewers frequently highlight the impressive features for children, such as a towering green slide, water cannons, a play pad, and an accessible ramp for water entry, making it a hot spot preferred over other local options. Safety is consistently mentioned as a strong positive, with the pool being well-policed and heavily monitored by lifeguards.

Wasn't crazy or very busy like I expected. The pool was clean, so was the grassy sitting area. Brought a towel, other people had brought chairs. I guess coolers are allowed too, maybe soft ones It was relaxing

truly fantastic, well policed. Something for every size child , including a ramp so they can slowly walk into the water . Clean locker rooms

The new additions to the Watervliet Pool have made this town amenity a hot spot in our community. No longer is Lincoln Pool in Albany the sought after watering hole in the neighboring region; now all the kiddies wish to flock to the impressive, towering green slide with the water cannons and tiers of activities. Mom and dad can rest easy knowing the new attractions are heavily monitored by lifeguards at every turn. A welcome advancement to the city of bells. Hopefully the playground next door will be next!

Love this pool, especially the play pad for the kids.. but there’s only one thing I don’t like …some people don’t know how to clean after themselves and that can be a problem But other than that, it’s really nice, and the workers are also nice
