About
Patton Pool, located at S 24th St, Fort Cavazos, TX, is an outdoor, seasonal swimming facility. It serves as a popular recreational spot for the Fort Cavazos community, offering a large pool, often with a diving board, for both lap swimming and general family enjoyment during the warmer months.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews present a mixed view of the facility. Positive feedback highlights the exceptional helpfulness and sweetness of specific staff members, David and Savanah. The pool itself is generally considered nice, featuring a good shaded wading pool for young children, various slides (including one for the deep end), a diving board, and ample seating. However, significant criticisms are raised regarding operational inconsistencies, such as unreliable and incorrect operating hours (only open on weekends, discrepancies with online schedules, and unexpected closures). The $4 per person entry fee is perceived as steep, and the locker room showers are described as poor. A major point of contention is the lifeguards, who are frequently characterized as overly strict, inconsistent, and 'nitpicky,' issuing whistles for minor infractions, even involving babies or parents attempting to follow safety rules for their children on slides.

Gave it 1 star only because I can’t do less right now. 1. It only opens on the weekend. 2. We only have 2 pools that open during the summer!!! Why???? And 3. Says it opens at 10, got here at 10:58 and it was CLOSED. Please if your going to have hours on here have the reflect the correct hours and go by them!!!

The pool itself is very nice. There is a little kids area but that is currently closed but looks nice if it was open. The issue my friends and I experienced is the lifeguards. I understand they are there for the safety of everyone and I appreciate having them but if we wanted to be bullied by teenagers we could just go back to highschool. Some of the things I witnessed them blowing the whistle for include a dad with his BABY on his shoulders (do not know him) and a TODDLER throwing a water ball (again do not know them and what kind of strength do they think this kid has?!). Then we, my group of friends and I, have 6 year olds who can swim but tire easily, so when they want to go down the slides we make them wear life jackets. We were watching when a lifeguard told us we had to be "within arms reach". Fine, we go stand by the slide and everyone has a good time. Fast forward the kids want to go again and one parent goes and stands by the end of the slide as instructed. ANOTHER LIFEGUARD BLOWS THEIR WHISTLE BECAUSE NOW HE IS TOO CLOSE TO THE SLIDE. What do the lifeguards want?! I need them to put and "X" on the bottom of the pool on where to stand if they're going to be that knit picky. Be ready to be whistled at is all I'm saying, no one is safe, not even babies.

Nice little wading pool for kids 5 and under that is shaded. It was a little chilly due to the shade but the weather isn't into the 100's yet. They also have a soft little slide that kids go on into the big pool and a bigger slide into the deep end. Lots of seating around too.

Hours are different than what is online. The pool starts at 3ft 6in so flats needed for smaller children. 2 slides in 4 feet. Diving board available. 4$ per person is a little steep. Showers in locker room suck.
