About

Shallow, zero-entry pool, lap lanes and diving board at this town venue featuring a U-shaped pool, plus a waterslide.

As an outdoor public facility, the water temperature at Underwood Pool is generally not heated and fluctuates with ambient air temperatures and weather conditions during its summer operating season. Specific, consistent temperature data is not readily available.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool receives mixed reviews, frequently lauded for its cleanliness, ample shade, picnic areas, and features like a diving board and water slide, which children generally enjoy. However, a major recurring criticism is its high cost, especially for non-residents (e.g., $20 per child, or $65 for two kids for a short visit), leading many to deem it the "most expensive pool around." Reviewers also note a lack of amenities such as Wi-Fi, towel service, or lounge chairs. A significant point of frustration for parents is the strict policy prohibiting arm bands or safety aids for babies and toddlers, often compounded by unwelcoming staff responses. While some suggest a summer membership might offer better value, the high prices and restrictive rules, particularly concerning children's safety aids, prompt some to seek alternatives. One positive, albeit quirky, review praised the pool while mentioning "free mangos."

It’s clean. It has ample shade and picnic benches and tables. There’s a water slide. You can get veggie straws in the vending machine. It also charges $20 for a child living outside of Belmont to visit, and $10 for a child living in Belmont. It’s nice pool, but it’s not a public pool.

Non resident review: Clean, modest, local city pool. The daily rate is higher than other towns, but a summer membership may hold more value. No WIFI, no towel service, no chairs/lounges, few to no services. Spent $65 to take two kids for a couple of hours. They do have a patch of grass and some shade.

Most expensive pool around. Not welcoming staff when asking questions. No arm bands allowed for babies and toddlers. I have 3 children under 4 who are very capable but need safety aids. Very very disappointing. They are able to swim but with their arm bands. Was told that it was put to the vote and the people of Belmont didn't want safety aids. Looking at the reviews now that doesn't ring true. I asked how can they carry on learning to swim - Answer - you can book swimming lessons! Not an option I'm afraid. I wanted a fun splash around not formal lessons. Many other options I have now found that are free and allow arm bands. No wonder it was empty.
