What are people saying (AI review summary)? This public pool is generally praised as a clean, affordable, and family-friendly community area, especially for cooling off during summer. It features a kiddie pool, a main pool with lap lanes, and a water slide (though it can be intermittently closed for repairs). Guests appreciate the allowance of outside food, drinks, and chairs, as well as the attentive lifeguards. However, common criticisms include the pool being cash-only, closing early, and a general lack of consistent shade in the grassy areas. Some negative experiences with staff have been reported, involving questionable pool closures or alleged false reports. There are also concerns about unsupervised older children harassing others and unreliable vending machines, prompting recommendations to bring your own snacks. Despite these issues, many find it a decent spot for a hot summer day.

Awesome public pool very clean and affordable. 5 little round picnic tables that seat 4 people, 5 shade canopies in the grassy area around the pool, a nice 2 story water slide, a fenced off kiddie pool area that is 1 foot deep. The main pool is 3 to 5 feet deep with a few lap lanes set up. I saw people brought there own pool toys, floats and noodles. You can bring in chairs coolers and food and drinks just no alcohol. A excellent community area to have fun and cool off during the hot summer days.

Fun pool to hang out with the kids. Nice big grassy area to sit, but no shade. The life guards are really good, and keep a close eye on the swimmers. It is cash only, so make sure to bring some. Thre is a water slide, but it wasn't working today while we were there. Overall, it's a nice pool.

I'm not sure if there is a quota, but they tried to file a rescue report over an incident that didn't happen. On top of it, they had everyone come out of the pool because of lightning, which apparently only the people that works there saw. This place is already closed most times, maybe it should permanently close.

Great pool with nice staff. The grass was really nice, wish there was a little more shade. My only main issue is allowing 10/11 year olds in without supervision. Several boys harassed my daughter non stop, even after asking them to stop multiple times.

Went on a Thursday afternoon. The place wasn’t too crowded. It closes early though (5:45) so get there in time to get your money’s worth. As others have mentioned there is no shade so be prepared. We have a small half umbrella shelter that worked perfectly. I did not visit the restroom so I can attest to their cleanliness. Typical neighborhood recreational pool, nothing special or significant to mention. My son and I did go to the vending area and witnessed someone lose their money because the chips got stuck. As others have mentioned there are huge signs everywhere letting you know that the management is not responsible for your loss. Do yourself a favor bring your own snacks and avoid the vending machines. The slide was closed down due to needed repairs but was scheduled to be open again in less that a week. The staff seemed friendly and were lenient with the children who liked to repeatedly jump in from the sides. The adult swim sessions are nice if you’d like a little peace. Most kids aren’t in the deeper end anyway though. Overall decent place to cool off on a hot summer day. Don’t forget the sunscreen. :)
