About

Clean, family-friendly pool with shaded areas, plus play equipment, fitness classes and lap lanes.

Specific, real-time temperature information for Willow Bend Pool is not generally published online. As an outdoor public pool, its water temperature typically fluctuates with the weather and ambient air conditions, and it is usually not heated.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool generally receives positive feedback for its cleanliness, updated bathrooms, good shade, and attentive, friendly lifeguards who effectively monitor swimmers. It offers ample space for both lap swimming and recreational fun. However, there are significant criticisms regarding inaccurate posted hours, with lap swimming often requiring months-in-advance reservations. While one review noted a new water feature in the baby pool, another mentioned a broken mushroom feature. The adjacent playground is described as small, lacking swings, featuring a gravel surface, and quickly becoming crowded.

Such a good pool! Nothing fancy, but the lifeguards take their jobs seriously including keeping clean, which I really appreciate. Bathrooms are updated and the baby pool has a new water feature. Great shade. And good music!

We didn't go to the pool, we went to the playground at the pool. The playground is a small single structure with 3 slides and monkey bars. There are no swings which is quite disappointing to the kids. The play surface is gravel so be prepared. My grandchildren like to bring dump trucks and play in the gravel as much as the playground equipment. The structure gets crowded with just a few kids.

There was plenty of space for everybody to swim or have fun. The lifeguards didn't appear strict but they did monitor the swimmers at all times. Overall a good place to either swim laps or have fun with others.

My son, his wife, 4 grandkids, & I love to swim & play here for the 8 months Katherine Fleischer Pool (open in summer) is closed or if KF pool too crowded. Clean pool + bathroom with friendly, patient lifeguards. Lap lanes also.♡♡♡

Wouldn’t recommend. Hours are not as posted on the website or google. Pool is typically closed for lap swimming only, reservations required months in advance. Baby pool mushroom hasn’t been working and maybe they will look into replacing it next year.
