About
The Floyd and Marion Stafford Community Pool, located at 708 N 1st St #700 in Fairbury, IL, is an outdoor community aquatic facility operated by the Fairbury Park District. It features a zero-depth entry area, a splash pad with spray features, lap lanes, and a diving well, making it suitable for families, recreational swimming, and swimming lessons during the summer months.
Specific, daily pool temperature information for the Floyd and Marion Stafford Community Pool is not regularly published. As an outdoor facility, its temperature naturally fluctuates with ambient weather conditions and is generally unheated or passively heated by the sun.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews offer a mixed but largely positive impression of the pool and its complex. Many commend the pool's excellent quality, noting its cleanliness, comfortable water temperature, varied depths (from a kiddie pool to a 10-foot deep end), a bendy diving board, and a snack bar. The grounds are also described as clean and orderly. However, there is significant conflicting feedback regarding the staff: some reviewers praise them as friendly, attentive, and outstanding, while others criticize them as unsupervised, obnoxious teenagers who engaged in disruptive behavior, including yelling over the loudspeaker and misbehaving. One review also suggested installing a dog-friendly water fountain for the walking areas within the complex.

The pool is nice but it's staffed by a bunch of unsupervised teenagers that just yell over the loud speaker half the time you're there, acting so obnoxious. Tonight they yelled they were closed and an then a minute later yelled "just kidding!!" After I had gotten my kids out of the pool already. When leaving, I could see them inside the building climbing up on shelves/counter tops plus blaring music so loud over the speaker I couldn't hear my kids talking to me. I understand they need a summer job, but someone should be watching them instead of it being a free for all.

Don't you want friendly life guards, a bendy diving board and a little pool for the young ones? This is that pool that you should visit. There's a deep 10 foot region, a 4', 3.5', and a 2' area as well. The water is never too hot or too cold. There's a snack bar and snack area where friends and family can get away from all of the splashes. Visit this pool. I've grown up in Fairbury my entire life and this is the best pool in the area.

Excellent pool with very attentive life guards! The grounds and clean and the chairs are always very orderly. A great place to bring kids to cool off from summer heat!

My dog and I enjoy coming here to walk and appreciate being able to walk on concrete and natural grass- covered surfaces. The #1 suggestion I have is to install a water fountain that offers a basin at ground level, so everyone's dogs can hydrate!
