About

Popular pool with lifeguards, where swimmers wait outside when it reaches capacity.

Information regarding the specific, consistent temperature of the pool(s) is not readily available. As an outdoor public facility, the water temperature generally fluctuates with the ambient weather conditions and is typically not heated.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this pool are predominantly negative, highlighting frequent, unpredictable, and unannounced closures, often attributed to staffing shortages or unclear reasons, even on hot days. Patrons complain about a lack of communication regarding these closures and vague opening schedules. Staff are consistently described as rude, lazy, and unhelpful, making people wait unnecessarily in long lines in the heat and even refusing shelter during sudden downpours. Significant concerns also include unsanitary conditions, with trash and bandaids found in the pool, and reports of belongings being stolen without staff intervention. While one review praises the pool for being clean, not crowded, and comfortable when visited early, it also notes the likelihood of long lines after 2 PM, minimal shade, and a strict no-food policy.

god, where do i start. today, on a super hot day, my husband and i decided to come here. checked the opening hours, all good. i told my husband laughing that it’s probably closed because they just close randomly when they feel like it. he was like no way, what are you talking about. but once we got there, the pool was closed. the note on the door said “closed today, will open tuesday or wednesday”. what? so not only it is closed without any explanation on one of the hottest days of the year, but “we are not sure when it’s gonna be open”. the pool looks full and clean by the way, just let people in, but no. nothing online about these random closings either, not once, even though this pool does it often. another detail is that when it’s miraculously open, staff loves to just make people wait in line for no reason in a 90 degree heat. just let them inside and let them sit there if it’s at capacity! there was one incident when a bunch of kids where in the kids area with fountains and stuff (that day pool was also closed for no reason again). and it just started raining, like pouring, suddenly and very badly. multiple people asked to just be let inside the building to wait out the rain and the staff didn’t let us in because “nah we can’t cause this way we become responsible for you”. what? responsible for us sitting there? inside? not doing anything? the guards and other staff are incredibly rude and lazy, can’t wait to get everyone out of the pool but never rush to open it up again even if it’s already time to open it. i can’t wait for them to fix this place, it could be so good with better management and staff.

If u look forward to swimming dont go here. Always short on lifeguards and when its not that its always something spent 2 hrs waiting on 4th of July to hear they didnt have enough life guards. My family was left more than 2 or more hrs multiple times easily in the sun waiting to go in. To be told they are not opening. It's a toss up on any given day. Nice pool but what does it matter if no1 goes in.

Good pool but don’t come here if you don’t want your belongings stolen, these past couple days peoples stuff have been stolen out of peoples bags by someone and the staff does nothing to stop it, and this past 2 weeks since they first opened they have been closing the pool at 2:30 for no reason.

Clean, not crowded, comfortable! Must go early if after 2pm expect to wait outside in line! You can bring in beach chairs, towels and water! No umbrella minimal spots of shade so SPF 50 recommended! No food permitted, pack a cooler in car and sit outside to eat if needed!
