What are people saying (AI review summary)? Prospect Pool receives mixed reviews, balancing positive family experiences with a serious safety concern. Many patrons, some with long-standing family ties to the pool, commend it as a great family spot with amenities like three diving boards, a volleyball net, and snacks. It's often praised for being clean, well-maintained, affordable, and having polite staff. However, one review details a severe injury to a child due to a new, slippery high dive board, leading to extensive medical treatment. The reviewer expressed deep disappointment in the management's perceived lack of care and follow-up, despite acknowledgments of the board's slipperiness. Other observations include the pool appearing 'a little old and worn' to some, and concerns about lifeguard presence and frequent management changes.

Love this place but my youngest daughter almost died here last year due to a very slippery high dive board they replaced. They never even seemed to care. My 12 year old is traumatized for life and several other people are admitting the new high dive was slippery. Even a life guard told me several people had fallen 13"+ but landed in the water. My daughter fell on the concrete/metal edge. I grew up in prospect. Just disappointed in it all! And several people in Prospect are still concerned over it but it was i guess shoved under the rug! 9 hour spinal surgery, almost paralyzed, shattered her coccyx and sacrum and hit so hard she had a 3rd degree perineal tear. 3 weeks at Childrens in the ICU and Neurology floors. They never said a thing or reached out to us. They even admitted that there have been complaints and that the high dive was slippery and they were talking with the manufacturer. Again the pool is decent but now they have no life guards, only one life guard stand (yet thats new), under new management always it seems and idk just be cautious. We go to Lincoln Pool now or Waldo . We just went to Prospect for the 1st time cus my daughter who was injured wanted to try it a year after her injury....she agrees go to Waldo or Lincoln. Lincoln pool is cheaper anyways. My daughter should've at least got a free pool pass. Better yet we still might sue them!

I love this place! I grew up in Prospect and my family have been "lifetime members" since the late 70s-80s.

It was a really good time! They have a volleyball net in the field area and 3 different height diving boards. There are multiple areas for smaller kids to swim and plenty of deeper water for older kids/adults. They have popsicles, pizza, and other snacks!

Great place for families to enjoy a summer day! The staff is super polite, especially a young man named Joe. He is always friendly & helpful. The pool is clean, well maintained, and affordable for everyone to enjoy. Highly recommend!

Our first time here. The pool is a little old and worn, but we had a good time and will be back.
