About

Family-oriented pool with a drop slide and diving boards for kids and adults alike.

While specific daily pool temperatures are not consistently published, the leisure pool at Meadows Aquatic Center is typically heated to ensure a comfortable experience for all swimmers.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Meadows pool generally offers a nice atmosphere with distinct zones for all ages, including kids/families, a diving area, and an adult section. The pool temperature is well-regarded, and changing rooms/showers are noted as nice. Some visitors have praised the lifeguards for their attentiveness and focus on safety, particularly during events. However, there are several criticisms: the number of available swim lanes is often fewer than advertised and they are frequently shared with restrictive rules (adults only, no blocks); maintenance issues like a closed drop slide and a creaky diving board have been reported; there's a lack of on-site concessions or a store; and some guests found lifeguards to be rude. A significant negative incident involved an older man exhibiting inappropriate behavior, causing discomfort and affecting guests' desire to return.

Nice pool that everyone all ages can enjoy. One side more for kids/families, the other side has a drop slide and diving board. In the middle is more for adults. The site advertises 8 swim lanes but usually only 3 are set up. On Saturdays if interested in using a swim lane expect to be sharing it the entire time

My daughter had my grandsons bday party last night at meadows and I just want to say what a fantastic day it was. I was super impressed by the lifeguards and the safety of the pool. They were extremely intuitive of their surroundings and made me feel like safety is their priority. Made me feel much better about public pools. Can’t say that about all. Thank you!

While here, the drop slide was closed but running. The diving board was very creaky and old. You could not use the swimming lanes unless and adult and you could use none of the blocks, including the handle for backstroke. The only reason I am giving this a 2 is because the showers/changing rooms were nice and the pool was a very nice temperature. While there, there was probably only 6 to 8 people and I understand why.

My girlfriend and I were hanging out at the pool when an older man kept pushing his way in between us. Felt very uncomfortable, also saw him staring at younger girls a couple who walked away quickly with their boyfriends. Look like he had on a ring! Don't like it when older men like that behave that way and make me not want to go to the pool anymore!

I would give 5 stars but no concessions and no store on site. Lifeguards a bit rude, but the atmosphere is nice.
