Gonic Pool - Swimming Pool

About

Gonic Pool is a public outdoor swimming facility located at 1 Railroad Ave, Rochester, NH. It serves as a community recreational area, particularly popular during the summer months for residents to enjoy swimming and cool off. It is an integral part of the local recreation offerings.

Specific, maintained pool temperatures for Gonic Pool are not typically disclosed or guaranteed, as it is an outdoor public pool that generally relies on natural solar warming. Therefore, the water temperature fluctuates with ambient weather conditions and is not actively heated.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews indicate that the pool can be fun for kids and is generally described as nice, calm, clean, and with easy parking. However, there are significant criticisms: a shortage of staff leads to frequent pool clearings for staff breaks, there is no shallow end suitable for young children, and a serious hygiene issue was reported involving a used band-aid found and accidentally ingested in the pool.

My kids had fun. They just need more staff seriously, more staff , so kids don't have to get out of the pool every 45 mins to 1 hour because staff need a break.

I though this pool was very nice. Calm, clean, and easy parking. 4 stars only because it has no shallow end for kids. However, if you don't need a shallow end, it's great!
