Free, family-friendly space with playground, pool and BBQ area, plus picnic benches.

Specific, regularly published pool temperatures for Olsen Swimming Pool are not readily available. As an outdoor public pool, its water temperature generally varies with the ambient weather conditions and it is typically unheated.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Olsen Swimming Pool Fun Park is highly praised for being a free, well-maintained, and fun destination with excellent facilities like a splash pad, playground, and clean restrooms, making it ideal for families. When operational, the park is lauded for its quick maintenance response. However, a major and consistent point of frustration among visitors is the unpredictable nature of its operations. The pool and sprinklers are frequently closed without clear reasons or advance notice, often despite good weather, and stated operating hours online are often inaccurate, leading to wasted trips and long waits. Communication is also a significant issue, with staff sometimes described as unhelpful or nonchalant, and phone calls going unanswered, leaving visitors without crucial information regarding closures and schedules.

Unexpectedly amazing! Olsen Swimming Pool Fun Park is a total gem — completely free, with great facilities, clean restrooms (huge plus!), and perfect for spending the day with kids. It’s a super fun splash pad, with a playground right next to it and a top-notch pool just steps away, everything totally free. I was impressed by the maintenance: one of the splash features broke during the day, and two staff members showed up almost instantly to fix it. Super quick and efficient! Safe, well-maintained, free, and full of fun — it’s rare to find places like this. I’ll definitely be back!

**Disappointed and Frustrated Experience** We arrived at Olsen Swimming Pool Fun Park right when they opened, excited to enjoy our day. However, the experience was extremely disappointing from the start. Despite it being opening time, the staff inside refused to open the door even after we knocked and waited. When someone finally acknowledged us, they were incredibly lazy and nonchalant. The employee told us he didn’t know why the pool wasn’t open, didn’t know when it would open, and didn’t seem to care at all. After some time, they mentioned it was due to chlorine levels but said the pool should open “shortly” and we could wait. We waited for over an hour with no updates or urgency from the staff. Eventually, we had to leave and find somewhere else to go. Total waste of time and energy. Very poor communication and zero sense of customer service. Would not recommend.

We’ve come here a good few times and although it’s a great pool, please update your hours of operation because every time we come we’re waiting in our cars for 30+mins thinking it opens at a certain time and it never does. The pool and sprinkler sections are clearly separate so if one opens earlier than the other make a seperate hours of operation.(respectfully)

Google maps and the pool’s website states that the pool is open (it is Memorial Day weekend). I tried calling four times at different times of the day to confirm - but no answer. I decided to trust the website, packed up the kids, and drove out to discover the pool drained with no information about when it might reopen. It’s a shame because it looks like it could be a great place.
