About

Family, kid-friendly recreational center featuring an outdoor pool with diving boards, a big waterslide and lifeguards.

Specific pool temperatures for the Atchison Lions Pool are not publicly advertised. As a typical outdoor municipal swimming facility, its water temperature is generally ambient and not explicitly heated.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the facility are largely negative, highlighting significant concerns regarding safety and cleanliness. Multiple patrons reported insufficient and distracted lifeguards who were observed chatting, flirting, or doing TikTok dances instead of monitoring the water, leading to fears for safety and a perceived lack of adult supervision. Other major complaints included unsupervised teenagers playing loud, explicit music and using profanity, making the environment unsuitable for families. Additional issues cited were a non-working slide, uncomfortably cold water, and extremely unsanitary changing rooms with overflowing garbage, including an open dirty diaper, creating a foul smell. Rude behavior from children at the diving board that lifeguards failed to control was also mentioned. Positively, some reviewers found it a cheap and fun place for family swimming, with children enjoying the deep end and diving board, and acknowledged it as an affordable summer option despite cleanliness issues.

Went today and they only had 3 life guards on duty. The lifeguards were not checking the water but instead chatting with their friends, flirting with each other or what looked like day dreaming...I'm surprised nobody's died there. There was not one adult working in the entire facility. Life guards doing tik tok dances instead of their job. I felt like I was the life guard! I would never trust those teenagers to guard my kids life. Unsupervised teenagers and kids blaring music with cuss words at the tables, my family had to move twice to other spots. Lots of kids just cussing constantly and nobody cares. This unfortunately is not a family friendly pool. Annoying. The slide was not working. Water was uncomfortably cold, changing room was disgusting, dirty, garbage full to the rim with an open poopy diaper on top. Made the whole place smell bad. Over all, 1 star.

My family visiting from out of state thought the pool was great except for some rude boys about age 12 didn’t know how a line works at the diving board and lifeguard could not control them not cutting. Those kids were so ignorant by things they said. They obviously need attention, sad.

I really enjoy coming here, it's just a fun, cheap place to come during the summer. The bathrooms are never the cleanest but definitely not the worst. Can't wait to come back next summer!
