About

Relaxed, 3-part swimming spot offering covered sections, laps, diving and wading pools.

Specific, consistently published pool temperatures for Chastain Park Pool are not readily available. As a large outdoor public pool, its temperature is generally unheated and primarily influenced by ambient weather conditions, typically reaching its warmest temperatures during the peak summer season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This neighborhood public pool is highly praised for its cleanliness, massive size, and capacity to accommodate all ages and swimming levels with distinct areas including a diving/deep pool, lap lanes, and a shallow 3-foot area. Reviewers consistently note the abundance of amenities like umbrellas, chairs, and swimming accessories, and the presence of attentive lifeguards contributing to a friendly atmosphere. It rarely feels crowded, even during peak times. The Tidal Waves summer swim program is particularly highlighted for its engaging coaches and positive impact on children's swimming progress. While generally excellent, some suggestions for improvement include expanding snack/drink options beyond typical 'junk food,' introducing mobile/card payment options (as it's currently cash-only at $5 per person), and advising patrons to carefully calculate if a membership is cost-effective for their usage. A minor concern was children occasionally getting cuts on their toes.

Great neighborhood pool, very clean and huge for all ages and levels of swimming. There are plenty of umbrellas, chairs, swimming accessories, and of course ice cream. I prefer to buy a membership to have access after 5 pm to swim after work.

This is peak Neighborhood Public Pool: massive complex, diving board, lap lanes, and massive 3’ area for younger or inexperienced swimmers. We went here the entire summer, 2-3x per week, and never felt it was crowded –even on the hottest, off-school hours. PEOPLE VISITING FOR THE FIRST TIME: CASH ONLY; $5 PER PERSON. Four star rating because a few minor tweaks/updates would make this pool a perfect public pool option: 1). Room to improve the snack/drink offerings. Junk food is great for kid swim, but a few expanded options for older kids & adults would be a welcome addition. 2). Technology to process mobile payment. The cash-only policy is fine, but the option for another contactless or card option would absolutely increase the number of transactions patrons are willing to spend. 3). Membership: DO THE MATH. We opted to *not* purchase a membership as we would never match the cost per visit expense of a membership so we paid out of pocket each time. Regardless of these nice-to-have recommendations, this pool and community that regularly attends is fantastic and we’ll continue to make Chastain Park Pool our summer go-to.

Great neighborhood pool. Attentive lifeguards. Tidal Waves summer swim program is fabulous. The coaches really pour a lot of energy and fun into the practices and the kids progress so much during the season. The swim meets are a lot of fun too. Highly recommend. All three of my kids love swimming at this pool during the summer.

Great pool with on site life guards. There is a nice friendly atmosphere and snacks are available for purchase. In regards to the pool- it consist of three distinct areas: diving/deep pool, lap pool, general pool. The only issue I have had is that my children somehow always end up with a cut on their toes.
