About
Swimming pool with a diving board and lifeguards at a park with areas for eating meals and a kids' playground, plus a walking trail.
Specific, consistently published pool temperatures for Rock Creek Park Pool are generally not made publicly available by the City of Albemarle Parks and Recreation. While public pools are often heated for comfort, precise temperature figures (e.g., in Fahrenheit or Celsius) are not typically advertised.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Rock Creek offers an impressive array of facilities, including a 1-mile walking path, picnic areas, a playground, an Olympic-sized pool with a diving board (1ft-12ft depth), a ropes course, tennis courts, and a baseball field, making it a great spot for family outings and exercise. While some staff, such as Riley and the assistant manager, are noted for being friendly and professional, there are significant and recurring complaints about the unprofessional, rude, and lazy behavior of several female lifeguards. These issues include making mean comments, body shaming, reluctance to perform duties (e.g., not wanting to do incident reports, complaining about monitoring duties), causing distress to patrons, and making children wait excessively for swim tests. Additionally, some visitors reported dirty women's bathrooms.

Where do I begin???? If u want to take your kids some where that they can enjoy themselves please save your time and go somewhere else. We get there and are excited that its pretty empty so we could relax and tan. Well my girls ages 18 and 15 go and dive off the diving board and swim to the ladder and before they get to the ladder the whistle is blown . The lifeguard tells them they have to have a swim test to jump off diving board. Ok. They go ask her how to do the test as if it wasn't obvious already they are great swimmers. The lifeguard tells them they have to wait an hr and then they can do it. Ok. The whole time we r waiting and laying out these female lifeguards do nothing but huff and puff and complain. One actually said that she didn't want to come out from their shaded little area because she had just painted her nails!!!!!!! Say what?! Then after my girls finally got to groove to them they could swim just fine they girl complained to another female lifeguard that now they would have to go to 3 lifeguards ... aint that their job?!! Rock Creek you can do better with your employees!!!!!! I will give credit where credit is due. There was a young man by the name of Riley. He was very friendly on the phone when I called and while we were there he did his job and we never heard him complain. Ya know if you are going to work with kids please be a little nicer! These females were very hateful to the children! One even said, " im just in a bad mood". Well I don't want to work everyday at my job either but I do and I do it to the best of my ability. NO EXSCUSES!!!!!!

Me and my best friend went there and there was three female life guards that kept making mean comments about my best friend and it got to the point we went to the bathroom and she didn’t want to go out because of them and she even started body shaming herself because of the rude comments and behavior.they would also point and laugh during breaks

Took my grandchildren here and they loved it! Great size pool with lots of lifeguards. This pool gets a lot of groups from daycare and summer camps and they also teach swimming lessons in the morning. The assistant manager was friendly and answered all my questions. Missing a star because the women’s bathrooms were dirty.

This is a great green space. Host a 1-mile waking path that is flat and smooth gravel with views of the creek the whole way. Picnic tables and built-in grills. There is plenty of grass and shade. Has a kids playground with slides and swings, an Olympic size pool with 1 ft to 12 ft depth with diving board, tree top ropes obstacle course, tennis court and baseball field. A great family outing for fun or exercise.
