About

Clean public pool featuring areas for kids and adults, plus a number of lifeguards.

Information regarding specific pool temperatures for the Lt. Colonel Edward J. Higgins Swimming Pool is not readily available online. As a public outdoor pool, it is generally unheated and its temperature is subject to ambient weather conditions.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool receives mixed reviews. Positive aspects include its cleanliness, being uncrowded at times, and some lifeguards being kind and communicative. However, significant concerns are raised about safety and security due to dense woods surrounding the facility, with multiple reviewers connecting the location to a past child disappearance and potential predator threats. Staff professionalism is also inconsistent; some lifeguards are criticized for being unprofessional or having inappropriate conversations, and management is noted for being unresponsive to requests, such as turning on sprinklers. The atmosphere can also be perceived as 'rowdy' or having a 'negative energy' by some visitors.

Pool and bathrooms are clean. It wasn't crowded when I went with my little ones. The lifeguards were kind and communicated well with the guests.

On google maps you can easily see how a child predator could watch and wait in the woods behind this pool and over to the ball field and highway. I'd like to know why the police didn't search those very woods Incase this sick individual killed and buried Andy there ? Not a good place if you want to keep your kids safe surrounded by these dense woods that can easily hide a child predator.

It's a nice pool I brought my little boy and my daughter here today but kind of felt a negative energy when I arrived to this place something I could not explain. I decided to read the reviews about this pool after coming home and that's how I found out about Andy's disappearance many years ago.. I watched the documentary tonight called have you seen Andy... my heart aches so sad children are always targeted by evil one day God will come and serve justice for you Andy and all the children's who've been attacked by evil...
