About
Popular pool with a splash pad and spray deck, plus slides for toddlers.
Specific pool temperatures for North Park Pool are not explicitly published by the facility. As a public outdoor pool, the water temperature typically relies on natural warming from the sun and ambient air temperatures during its operational summer months.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? North Park Pool has undergone significant positive transformations, making it Burlington's nicest pool. Reviewers praise the improved facilities including murals, ample seating, picnic shelters, and very clean bathrooms with showers. The pool offers diverse sections for various swimming abilities, a zero-entry splash area, and accessible entry, catering to all ages and physical restrictions. The reservation system, initially for COVID, is now appreciated for managing crowd size, ensuring safety, and providing an adequate 1 hour 45 minute swim time, though visitors need to plan 2-3 days in advance. While reservations are free, payment is required upon arrival. The staff, especially lifeguards, are noted for being attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is less crowded, welcoming to all, and includes great music. Specific features like toddler slides and splash pads are a hit with children, though grippy water shoes are recommended for little ones due to a potentially slippery transition area. Despite the upgrades, the pool remains affordable and accessible, avoiding gentrification.

I grew up coming to this pool and I’ve watched it improve over the years. I love the murals, the seating, picnic shelter, different sections for different swimming ability levels, and the staff. Covid was the reason for the reservation system, and with rises and falls in numbers, it’s smart to keep that system in place. Some may not understand how the reservation process works, which is surely frustrating for them, but once you know how to use it, it’s easy! It is nice having a limited amount of people in the pool at any given time and the rules ensure that everyone is safe. You’ll find that 1 hr 45 min is actually plenty of time to enjoy a swim, and allows others to also get the chance to do the same. You DO need to plan your visit 2-3 days in advance by making a reservation. Choose an *available* time slot and you won’t be put on a wait list. The improvements made to North Park Pool do not equate to gentrification, because it’s still affordable AND accessible for ALL. That isn’t the case with true gentrification. I think it’s beautiful to see all races come together and enjoy a nice pool experience without being crowded and on top of each other. If you grew up here, you can recall sitting on the concrete due to a lack of chairs and being body-to-body in the water. I truly appreciate the transformation North Park Pool has undergone. It’s awesome!

Since the pool's remodel in 2020, this is the nicest pool to visit here in Burlington. The zero entry splash area and accessible pool entry provides accessibility to physically restricted persons. The separate areas are clearly marked with depth and plenty of lifeguards are on duty. The women's bathroom facilities are very nice with 4 shower units that provide soap and shampoo for quick showers after swimming. A covered patio area with picnic tables is a great place to enjoy lunch. Make sure to visit their website to schedule your swim Reservation time!

While you may feel like you’re signing your life away to register online, it is well worth it! Note - the website doesn’t make clear that it’s free to make a reservation, BUT you will need to pay when you arrive at the pool. My 2 year old loves the toddler-sized water slides and splash pad area as well as the gradual entry into the shape part of the pool. I recommend grippy water shoes for little ones who might be tempted to run into the water, because the transition area from splash pad to pool is a little slippery for those feet. There are lounge chairs and picnic benches available to park your belongings, as well as a very clean bathroom/changing room/shower area. Definitely will be coming back!

The kids had a great time! The lifeguards were very attentive and made the small kids doing the swim test feel very comfortable with doing the test.
