About

The Mendota Swimming Pool, located at 1100 Meriden St, Mendota, IL 61342, USA, is a public outdoor swimming facility operated by the Mendota Park District. It typically operates during the summer months, offering a main pool, a diving area, and often a separate wading pool for children, along with opportunities for open swim and swimming lessons.

As an outdoor public swimming facility, the Mendota Swimming Pool's water temperature is not consistently heated or regulated to a specific degree, and therefore varies based on ambient weather conditions and sun exposure throughout the operating season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this swimming facility are mixed. Many visitors praise the positive, fun atmosphere, especially for kids, highlighting the great diving boards and the attentiveness, alertness, and friendliness of the lifeguards. It's often recommended as a wonderful and free place for family fun. However, several significant negatives were noted: uncomfortable and limited lounge chairs, cold pool water due to no heater, a lack of substantial food options, and issues with lifeguards delaying pool opening based on their own weather app. Safety concerns were raised due to a loose stair railing, and the bathrooms were described as old and disgusting. One visitor also reported an unusual restriction against adults kissing.

The lounge chairs are made of wood and a couple are made of aluminum siding. They're made very uncomfortable! I was here for 2 hours and my back was killing me. Had to leave. Plus there are only maybe 7 of them. The pool water was so cold. No heater. No food at this place either. Maybe candy or chips but I didn't see anything. There were 6 or 7 life guards on duty and they won't open the pool until THEIR weather app says 70 degrees. So it was 1pm by the time they opened. Even though MY weather app said 70 degrees at noon. Stair railing was so loose i almost fell in the water. Very hazardous! Bathrooms are old and disgusting. This was my first time going here, I would never come back!

Kids had a blast diving boards work great. Water was a little cool but feels good in the hot sun. Recommend for anybody that's great for family fun. It's free for the kids. It's free for adults. Free for everybody come and swim everyday this summer....
