About

Relaxed facility popular with families featuring a spacious pool with diving boards, a kiddie pool and a splash pad.

As an outdoor public pool, El Salido Pool is generally unheated, meaning its water temperature fluctuates and is dependent on the ambient air temperature and weather conditions.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool and park facility is highly regarded, offering a variety of amenities including a spacious main pool, lap lanes for adults, a heated shallow end perfect for toddlers, and popular diving boards. Reviewers frequently praise the overall good experience, reasonable crowd size, and professional staffing. However, some areas for improvement were noted, such as inconsistent cleanliness in bathrooms and the kiddie play area, a perception of high entry fees by some, and isolated concerns regarding lifeguard supervision of rough play.

My kids and I really love this pool. It has a shallow end that is so great for toddlers. And it’s heated! Bathrooms aren’t super clean, but overall this place is so great!

Went to the pool with the wife and kiddo today. Overall, we had a good experience. The main pool was a good size, and the facilities were clean. The crowd was reasonably sized, so it didn't feel like you were constantly boxing out other people. Plenty of lifeguards on hand made for a safe environment. The price to enter was a little on the high side for what you get (inflation, amirite?) and the kid's play area could have used some cleaning up as there was an abundance of leaves and dead bugs floating around. I was also surprised by the lifeguards tolerating a couple of boys full-on MMA fighting next to the slide designed for 3-year-olds. So, there's some room for improvement, but I don't think that will prevent us from going back.

This facility is a gem tucked away in a neighborhood right off a main highway. Four guard posts dot the perimeter of this spacious pool. Two low-height, and one tall-height diving board become center stage as belly flop competitions and serious diving feats find their audience throughout the day. For a reasonable fee, you’re admitted into a sell oiled and professionally staffed attraction. I could continue to be long winged over this fair pool, but suffice to say, you won’t be disappointed with your time here.
