About
Indoor swimming facility featuring a large pool for lap swimming.
Specific temperature information for the pools at Mason Pool is not publicly available. As a seasonal outdoor public facility, the water temperature typically fluctuates with the ambient summer weather conditions and is generally not heated.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Mason pool generally receives very positive feedback, with patrons frequently commending its cleanliness, warm pool, and well-maintained facilities. Many reviews highlight the kind, helpful, and welcoming staff, particularly the lifeguards, and appreciate the free access for Boston residents along with the variety of classes offered. It is widely regarded as a valuable community resource. However, one significant negative review claims that staff exhibit racial bias, being rude to Black patrons while friendly to white individuals, and advises Black people to seek alternative swimming facilities.

The people that work there are only friendly to white people. Gone there about 5 or 6 times and they've always been rude to me and my companions. I've had others express the same to me (which is weird because alot of black ppl swim here). The lockers are nice, however, and they do play good music there. I stopped going and would suggest a different pool if you're black.

I love everything about the Mason pool especially the lifeguards & Ernest. I follow my water aerobics instructor here twice a week. The facility has parking and is always clean. Shout out to: Leo, Christian ,d'jerry, jaellany, Bailey, Andres & Paul why greet you like family. Plus, if you're a Boston resident, it's FREE.

The staff was very helpful and kind. My granddaughters and I were the only ones there for a little while. So it was great!

The facilities are solid. They keep things clean and organized although some parts are a bit outdated. In the winter it's pretty warm and makes it comfortable. Loads of class and sessions for all ages at no change. Great resource in the community.

Absolutely love this place. Kind staff, nice, clean, warm pool, hospitable patrons always willing to share a lane, and no cost for city residents. It doesn’t get much better.
