The Newark YMCA pool is a fantastic spot for summer fun, offering a clean and well-maintained environment that caters to all ages. The water is sparkling clean, and the pool area is tidily kept, making for a pleasant and hygienic experience. The main attraction is the large pool, which features two impressive water slides that provide hours of entertainment for kids and adults alike. For those who prefer a more structured swim, there are several dedicated swimming lanes available. The pool also boasts a variety of fountains and a separate play structure, ensuring there's something for everyone. Families will particularly appreciate the abundance of shaded areas surrounding the pool, which offer a cool escape from the sun. The nearby playground is a huge bonus, allowing kids to burn off energy on dry land. The overall atmosphere is vibrant and family-friendly. The Newark YMCA pool truly offers a perfect blend of recreational and fitness opportunities in a clean, safe, and enjoyable setting.

Was there the other day with my 12 year old nephew and he had to do a swim test just to swim in 4ft water. The first part of the test took longer than 1 minute and the lifeguard didn’t seem to care. I am all for water safety, but this was ridiculous. My nephew has been in deeper water and never had trouble. Will not be back. A huge disappointment from when I was a kid

Kiddie area closed. The slide was broke,one of the mushrooms not working. When you want to swim indoors one pool open the other closed vise versa. Not really fair when people are paying that much to swim and things are always closed.

Great when you need to cool off on a really hot day. Not the best for juet regular swimming. Plenty of lifeguards, rude concession stands guy.
