About

Outdoor pool, along with a playground and an archery range.

Specific pool temperatures for the Dover YMCA's Outdoor Center are not typically published. Outdoor recreational pools at such facilities are generally heated to a comfortable temperature for swimming during their operational season, usually aiming for a range suitable for general public use, but exact figures are not consistently made public.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews generally offer a positive assessment of the pool, frequently commending its cleanliness, well-maintained grounds, and the friendly, attentive staff and lifeguards. Many appreciate the outdoor pool option and find it a good, safe environment for family fun, with kids making new friends. The YMCA's ownership is also seen as a positive change. However, some reviewers note that the pool can be crowded and is no longer ideal for toddlers due to the absence of a dedicated kids' pool, which has been replaced by a concrete play area. One unique comment described the pool drains as creepy. Despite these minor drawbacks, several patrons expressed a desire to return.

Came here swimming with my boyfriend last summer and we had fun. Only downside is that us gay guys don’t get scared by much but ur pool drains looked kinda creepy and gave off weird vibes. We will definitely be coming back because we like to watch all the hot twinks swimming shirtless and we have fun here! Don’t let the drains bully u into giving them ur lunch. They will suck it down without hesitation. We had a nice picnic and me and my boyfriend will most definitely return.

Nice pool and great staff. I was so glad when the Y purchased this property a few years back. It is so nice to have an outdoor pool option.

We love the outside pool and inside ymca pool. My kids have met a lot of new friends and everyone is super friendly. The life guards are awesome and very alert .very well worth the money for our kids to have a safe and fun time while getting some healthy exercise.

Minimal entry to pool that is typically crowded. Not very toddler friendly. No kids pool anymore, filled in and a concrete play area. Probably won't return until kids are older sadly. Staff was very friendly and environment was clean
