Recreational facility featuring an outdoor pool with a kiddie area, plus a snack stand, and sports facilities.
Specific pool temperature information for Wynnewood Recreation Center Private Pool is not publicly available or widely advertised. Pool temperatures at such facilities are generally maintained at comfortable levels, often between 78-84°F (25-29°C), but this can vary seasonally and based on the center's operational policies.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The WRC is lauded as a comprehensive recreational facility offering more than just a pool, featuring extensive amenities like a large main pool with diverse swimming areas (lap lanes, deep end with diving board), a separate gated splash pool for children, and various sports courts (volleyball, basketball), swing sets, and open fields. The property is well-maintained, includes a snack bar, shaded picnic areas, and rental pavilions. The swim team is highly praised for its dedicated volunteers and fostering youth development. While many appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and professional lifeguards, significant criticism surrounds the membership process and its exclusivity. One potential member reported an extremely rude interaction with a manager named Scott/Scout. Concerns about a lack of diversity are prominent, with the membership being overwhelmingly white, attributed to requirements such as being a homeowner and needing referrals from multiple existing members. These criteria are seen as creating social barriers, making it difficult for new or non-white individuals to join or integrate, despite some defending them as standard for private clubs. The membership fee is considered pricey by some, though others find it reasonable compared to similar facilities.

More than just a pool or swim club, WRC has many amenities for everyone in the family and community. The pool is large with different areas to swim, a lap lane, and a separate swim pool and fountain for the little kids, which has its own gated area. There is a swing set, volleyball area, corn hole, basketball court, and many picnic tables throughout. There are restrooms as well as a snack stand. The most notable thing for me was the umbrellas attached to the benches so that many people can enjoy a shaded area during a hot day.
I had a great time very nice pool very large swim area and large area around the pool.
The property is beautiful and the snack bar has a wide variety of filling foods. I like how only little kids can play in the splash pool, making sure it’s safe for them. The pool has a deep well with diving board, shallow end, and several lap lanes. I like the volleyball, basketball, and fields for running and kickball. The swim team is a fun experience run by passionate volunteers dedicated to the kids and the competitions. I love seeing how the swimmers eventually become junior coaches and then coaches as they grow, forming a leadership pipeline of sorts. My favorite was volunteering for and running the meet with the beach ball giveaway for swimmers, the highlight being the silly floaty relays. I am glad to see the boundary map published to offer transparency that was before missing. Noticeable however is how overwhelmingly white the membership is. Many times I was the only or one of few non-white people, though the surrounding community is not exclusively white. It makes the pool experience difficult sometimes because not everyone is friendly and often friend groups are tight and difficult to break into. Several factors keep the membership looking a certain way: candidates must be homeowners (no renters allowed) and they must be recommended by two existing members (meaning they must form part of that friend group or know them). While it is a nice campus, these are factors that neighbors must be aware of when considering which of the many local community pools to join.
I called to get information on how to become a member but first I asked what were the hours and this man he sounded caucasian and spoke very fast he assumed I was just looking for a public pool he didn’t give me a chance to speak he instantly said “this not a public pool thanks for calling” I said first off I am not calling for that please don’t be ignorant and assume I am just looking for a quick swim how do I become a member sir. It just made me not want to sign up with this place. Scott or scout whatever the manager name is he’s very rude. Whatever you do never call this place. The way he answers the phone is terrible.
These negative reviews are ridiculous and lack substance it's a private community pool. For you to be a member you need to live within their boundaries, and you need to be referred by 3 current members. The lady that commented about "whites only" 🤔 nope! Just move within there boundaries and be social so 3 existing members recommend you🤷🏿♂️. The person that mentioned the other private swim communities, the boundaries do not overlap. Also Rollingwood and the other one they mentioned have waiting lists and you need to live within those pools boundaries unless you are a guest. The recreation center is a great place well maintained they have a basketball court, and volleyball area so not just swimming. The staff is very welcoming and laid-back the lifeguards take their jobs seriously and are not just there for easy money. They have charcoal grills setup, a pavilion. where you can rent out one to host a pool party, or summer events for a very reasonable price. I am a person that likes to keep to myself and it's a place where you can just sit down relax for the evening, or in my case make some business calls, listen to good music, overall good vibes and a great place. Membership fee is pricey for me but it's reasonable compared to other swim Communities, and I am cheap according to my wife
