About

Slide and diving-board-equipped public pool offering seasonal hours.

Specific daily or average pool temperatures for Jefferson Pool are not consistently published or readily available through general public information sources. As a typical outdoor community pool, its temperature is likely maintained within a comfortable range for swimming during its operational summer season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the pool are mixed, with several positive comments alongside one significant negative complaint. Many visitors praised the lifeguards for being nice, attentive, and ensuring safety, particularly during thunder, and noted top-notch safety both in and out of the water. They also appreciated the popular big blue water slide, the availability of a splash area for toddlers, and the relatively uncrowded atmosphere. Positive feedback also included cheaper pricing after 4 PM and observed improvements in the pool's coping and apron. However, one detailed negative review accused pool staff of lying about thunder to continuously postpone opening the pool, avoid work, and ultimately close early, alleging a waste of community money and a disservice to patrons.

The pool staff do not do their job and waste the community money! A few days ago, it was raining until about 3:30 pm. The pool was supposed to be open until 7 pm. In these more than 3 remaining hours, the weather was sunny and really beautiful, but the pool staff continuously kept postponing opening of the pool, referring to some thunder which they said they heard. There was no thunder at all! So we waited for opening of the pool, but each time they extended the opening for another 20-30 min, each time saying that there was a thunder (although there was none at all). In the meantime, the staff were sitting near the pool and inside their room, listened to loud music, played ball, and apparently had a great time! We waited until about 5:50 pm, at which time they just closed the pool completely and went home. These guards are lying to the customers and avoid doing their job! This disservice to the community and those who pay money for keeping this pool!

lifeguards are very nice, they make sure everybody is safe when there is thunder. I really appreciate their attention to detail when thunder strikes and their swift action. I could not recomend this pool any more. If you want safety and fun, jefferson pool is the place to be!

Went there today for the first time. With the weather hitting 92 today it wasn’t that crowded. I did go as soon as they opened thou and left around 2. My boys age 11 and 13 had a good time. They have one slide that never had a line. The water wasn’t too cold. There was a splash area for toddlers, thou my boys didn’t go there. Kind of small, but I think it’s ok for the neighborhood. Note that there is no concessions, but they do have an eating area if you wanna pack lunch.

The kids area was closed. But the big blue water slide was super awesome. 40" + and no floaties. My 6 year old loved it. Love the after 4pm cheaper pricing.
