About

Public swimming pool offering diving, with lifeguards on duty.

As a public outdoor pool, the water temperature at Driving Park Pool is typically ambient and not explicitly controlled or published. It naturally fluctuates with the weather and outdoor conditions.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this pool are highly mixed. Many visitors praise the pool's amenities, including its nice water slides, separated kiddie area, and diving boards, describing it as an amazing and enjoyable experience for families and children. However, a significant number of negative reviews highlight issues with rude, aggressive, and inconsistent staff behavior, particularly concerning strict rules for children's supervision and arbitrary enforcement of dress codes. Overcrowding is also frequently mentioned as a drawback.

Absolutely horrible. While the pool area itself is nice the employees, especially the woman "running things" are rude, aggressive, and caused 4 families outside of mine to leave in the 2 hours i was there. There's lifeguards everywhere but the kiddie area and you must stand almost touching your child at all times if they are under 9. My 13 year old was yelled at because he bounced 3 times before diving of the board. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless you want yelled at.

This is a really nice pool. But it's super crowded! Way too many people!

Absolutely Amazing! I love this place for my siblings and other relatives. The water slides is also super nice, and has a separated area for smaller children and has diving boards. This is the best pool I’ve been to yet! Thank you driving park for providing this wonderful experience for me and my family.

Always a problem at this pool. Let my kid in with "shorts" when he was with his camp. Came back same day they don't let him with THOSE SAME SHORTS. Make it make sense. 🙃 PS. Definitely saw kids with shorts on once we left and came back with "proper attire"
