About

The Town of Marion Community Pool is a seasonal outdoor public swimming facility located in Marion, VA.

The pool serves as a community hub for summer activities, providing options for open swim, swim lessons, and private pool party rentals.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Town of Marion Pool has recently undergone a significant makeover, which has been widely praised by visitors. New additions include two decent-sized water slides, a splash pad, and a smooth pool surface, making it enjoyable for all ages from babies to adults. A new patio area with porch swings has also been added, enhancing the experience for those not in the water. Lifeguards are generally described as sweet and attentive, ensuring safety with mandatory pool breaks, and the water temperature is noted as perfect. While some minor issues like dirtiness on the edges and frequent busyness are mentioned, the pool is largely considered a fantastic and perhaps the best in the area. However, there was a notable negative incident where a pre-scheduled birthday party for 50 people was abruptly canceled on the day of the event due to a lack of lifeguards, causing significant disappointment and inconvenience. Management offered only an apology, leading to criticism regarding their communication and ability to handle such situations effectively despite the facility's physical improvements.

Had a birthday scheduled for my daughter at this pool three months in advance and was turned away on the day of the celebration. Town of Marion Pool was her first choice for her fifth birthday party and she was so excited. The day before the scheduled party I called the office to confirm and was informed everything was good to go. When I arrived to the party there was no staff present. So I called and spoke with the manager and was informed we were not scheduled for that day. The receipt that I had in my email had 8/12 on it and that was the day we were at the pool for the party. Unfortunately they were not able to get lifeguards on site so we were turned away. There was a group of 50 people that we had to scurry and find an alternative. To say my 5 year old was heartbroken is an understatement. When I followed up the next day I was met with apologies and no concessions. We live in a small town and I love promoting what little we have around here but we were wronged and was only offered an apology for our headache. Management needs to do better to prevent this from happening so we can encourage others to come here and enjoy.

They just redid almost everything, it's amazing, they have two decent sized water slides, a new splash pad, and the inside of the pool is smooth so your feet don't get torn up, they also have a new patio area that have porch swings and its awesome for people who aren't getting in, overall a fantastic place to be and probably the best in the area.
