I was very hesitant to go to a public pool in Baltimore City. However, I came here on a Saturday and I couldn't have had a better experience. It was free to get in with the Civic rec account. The pool was clean, everyone swimming was respectful. I will definitely be returning. The staff was helpful. I read all the other reviews and my experience was definitely different than that of others.

It's always peaceful coming here. I bring my daughter to the kiddie pool, and she has fun. I never knew about this pool until recently; it's kind of a hidden gem. The park around it is clean and very welcoming. Parking is easy to find and the pool is just fine. The workers are friendly. They could clean the leaves and dead bugs out of the pool more often.
