About
Neighborhood pool offering a splash pad, 2 diving boards, and picnic tables with umbrellas.
Specific, consistently maintained pool temperatures for Medlock Pool are generally not publicly provided, as it is a seasonal outdoor community pool. The water temperature is typically ambient and fluctuates with the weather conditions.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool is largely praised as a 'hidden gem' and 'the best of Dekalb’s pools,' offering a family-oriented atmosphere with depths ranging from 3 to 12 feet, including a splash pad and two diving boards. Reviewers appreciate the ample seating with umbrellas, the cleanliness of the pool and surrounding facilities, attentive lifeguards, and polite staff. Many note the diverse patronage and that it doesn't feel crowded despite potentially full parking lots. Visitors can bring their own chairs and snacks, and the entry fee is reasonable. However, there was one significant negative experience regarding strict swimsuit rules leading to a child being denied entry, accompanied by reports of rude and unhelpful staff, and limited parking was mentioned by one reviewer (though others found ample parking).

1st time here 7/9/2023, nice pool and area, it goes to 12ft starts at 3ft, it also has a splash pad. Plenty of seating with umbrellas , you can also bring your own chairs and snacks if needed. 2 diving boards, Reasonable entry fee, parking can be limited. Family oriented atmosphere.

The best of Dekalb’s 6 pools. My homeschool crew and I have been exploring the county’s aquatics facilities and this is the 5th of the 6 listed on their website. 1. It has ample shade/cover for guests- in addition to the normal picnic bench umbrellas 2. 10 picnic tables, 6 with umbrellas the others quaintly situated under the shade 3. Working (clean-not grimy) splash pad 4. Attentive life guard and polite staff 5. Surrounding facilities are impeccably maintained I would say the place was full judging by the parking lot but it didn’t feel crowded in or by the pool. The swimmers/families were more diverse (age race and economic status) here which I appreciate too 😇 It’s a little further than the others to our home but I think it’s worth the trip for the same price and nicer experience.

This was my first time here and I enjoyed it! The pool goes up to 12 feet. The staff was very respectful and the pool is clean.

Very disappointed with our visit. They wouldn’t let my daughter swim because she didn’t have a proper swimsuit, even though she had clean clothes and was ready to swim. The staff was rude and unhelpful, and the rules felt overly strict and not family-friendly.

We had a great time at our neighborhood pool party. The water was clean, bathrooms accessible, and there was plenty of parking. The splash pad was an added bonus for our family!
