It's ok, but when I went there last,(7/26/25)the splash pad and the water slide were both closed

Fabulous neighborhood pool with great staff and great facilities. We also have loved being part of their swim team for the past few years. Such a great way to start the summer!

After getting turned away from Cook Creek Pool and Holly Pool, we went to Franklin Pool. What a great experience! The manager is present, runs a great group of life guards/staff. The pool is wonderful for smaller kids with a splash pad and water table play. It can also keep the older kids entertained with a slide, diving board, great accessibility with stairs to enter the pool. The snack bar is awesome and super affordable. I also love the shade trees! Again bravo to the manager who runs this pool. You are doing a great job!

My family loves this pool. We are splash pass holders and of the 4 pools, Franklin is our fav. My 2 year old loves the area for small kids with fun water tables and it doesn’t spray her with cold water! My 7 yo daughter is just over the height requirement for the slide and loves it! She also loves the diving board. The concessions are great and the facilities, etc are clean and easy to access. Lots of places to sit. The lifeguards are fun and friendly but also take safety seriously. Never a bad time had at this pool
