About
Public outdoor pool featuring a recreational area and picnic facilities.
Specific operating temperatures for Dakin Pool are not publicly listed. As an outdoor public swimming facility, its water temperature is generally subject to ambient weather conditions and air temperature.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool is generally praised as an affordable, quiet, and fun 'hidden gem,' especially for families seeking a less crowded swimming experience. Reviewers appreciate its off-the-beaten-path location, well-maintained outdoor facilities, and attentive lifeguards, often noting it's a good value. However, significant concerns were raised about the pool's cleanliness, with one reviewer describing the water as murky and staff admitting to infrequent treatment. Other downsides include the pool's small size, the lack of steps (only ladders), which poses a challenge for individuals with mobility issues, and it can become quite crowded in the afternoons when local camps visit.

I love taking my son to swim here. It's quiet and off the beaten path, there's usually never more than a few people in the pool. Its a beautiful well maintained outdoor pool, staffed with showers, lifeguards, an outdoor rec and picnic area, and so much more for such a small place. If you don't like swimming around tons of other people and kids pscksd into a pool like some of the others in the area then I would highly suggest coming here. Well worth the price and a fun thing to take the kids to do!

This pool is not very clean, typically when you take your children to a public pool you expect a lot of kids and whistles blowing but you also expect the water and surrounding area to be clean.I took my 6 year year old on a day where it was hot and they were the only Pool open, she did have fun but the water was so bad you couldn’t see thru it even wearing goggles. The life guards were friendly but one even said they don’t treat or clean the pool as often or the way they should. Swim in a lake or go to the Beth pancoe pool and you’ll have a much better experience.

Affordable and fun! Only wish they had steps instead of all ladders. I'm handicapped, (knees) and the ladders are hard to use for me. Only other down side is it gets really crowded about 3 when the local camps bring all their kids. But they wanna swim too!

Cheap fun for the whole family there is a small water slide and the pool is a bit small but there has not been many people when I've been here so it's an amazing little hidden gem with good life guards who actually pay attention and don't just blow whistles constantly.
