What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this pool complex are mixed. Positive feedback highlights the well-kept, clean facility with a variety of pools including lap, diving, family, and wading areas, often praised for attentive lifeguards and ample parking. Many appreciate it as an impressive public amenity within a larger park setting, offering good swimming lessons. However, significant negative points include pools being unheated and 'freezing' for some, even on warm days. Several users reported rude, unhelpful, and unwelcoming staff, difficulty with refunds, and issues with non-swimmers being charged full price. A major concern for members was the closure of large parts of the pool during peak weekday hours for swim classes, which felt like a 'bait and switch' due to lack of prior announcement. One review also mentioned staff potentially favoring residents.

Full disclosure. I don't live in Lexington, but this pool complex kinda makes me wish I did. As municipal amenities go, 4 outdoor pools available to the public in a park-like setting surrounded by basketball courts, skate park, a track, athletic fields, and some nearby historic landmarks is really cool. There's a lap pool, a diving pool, a family pool, and a wading pool with splash pad for the littles. The place is clean and well-staffed with life guards. No food or drink and safety definitely comes first in the pools (no toys or floaties) but again, for a public amenity, I'm always impressed and happy it's here for us to use! The swimming lessons are great for the kiddos too!

Great facility that is well kept. It feels cleaner compared to other public pools i have been to. There is a diving pool, lane pool, a shallow splash area for small kids and our favorite, a 4ft pool that is is a little deeper in the middle, perfect for 4 to 8 year range IMHO. The life guards seem on top of things. Parking is generally not a problem. There was one major drawback. We bought a membership right before the start of the summer season. After a few weeks we got an email notifying us that for the rest of the season, there were going to be swim classes on weekdays, exactly at the peak hours when we typically go. I forget the morning hours, but i believe they go from 4:30 to 7:30pm. During this time, 2/3 to 3/4 of the pool is closed off for swim class and anyone else needs to cram in the small part of the pool. This really didn't sit well with me. It felt like a bait and switch because I don't remember that being announced anywhere on the website at the time i purchased the membership. This doesn't happen on weekends so at least we have that.

I am a local resident and had an awful experience with this facility and staff last week, our first time there. I wanted to take my 6-yr old swimming. I told the staff that we wanted to check out the facility as we have never been there. No one took the time to explain the facilities and make us feel welcome. Upon dipping our toes in the pools, we discovered that none of the pools are heated at all and, even on a 82 deg day, the pools were freezing to the point that we could not swim in the pools. There were only a couple of others that were swimming. We tried to explain to the staff that the facilities were not working for us and asked for our money back, but the staff was very rude and said absolutely no refunds. My father in law was also charged full rate even though he was just there to watch. There was also no manager on site and the head lifeguard, Connor Rempe, who was acting manager, was very rude and told me that the manager "sets his own hours". We left very frustrated and felt ripped off of our $21 that we gave them, and therefore won't be back. Rude staff and freezing pools are not very welcoming.

Such an awesome and spacious area. Love the 3 separate pools and lane swim area too. Water is a great temperature. Lifeguards are very attentive, friendly and approachable. Thank you for a great afternoon experience.
