Thornton City Pool

About

Relaxed pool featuring a lazy river and slides, plus vending machines and shade.

The pools at Thornton City Pool are typically heated to a comfortable swimming temperature for public use. However, a specific fixed temperature for the outdoor pool is not consistently published, as it can be subject to environmental conditions.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the pool are mixed, but lean positive. Many visitors describe it as a fun, family-friendly, and comfortable public pool with polite and attentive staff, and great for a hot summer day. Features like the lazy river with a mister and water slides are often praised as amazing and fun. However, a significant recurring issue is overcrowding, which can lead to difficulties finding seating or available tubes for attractions like the lazy river, especially for younger visitors. One review also mentioned bug-filled water and a lack of green areas, while others found the water perfect. Some advised visiting a few hours after opening to avoid the peak crowd. Despite some large slides occasionally being closed, many still found it a good place for a swim or slides. The cost was noted as $19 for one adult and three children in one negative review.

Super crowded, the water is full of bugs all kinds. Apparently you can’t be in the lazy river without a tube if you are under 18 but since it’s crowded you cannot find a tube to even use the blue slide. We pay $19 for 1 adult and 3 kids. There is no space to seat or even enough green areas. I do not recommend this place at all.

Fun, family friendly, and comfortable public pool. The lifeguards are polite and very attentive. It can be very crowded sometimes, so coming a few hours after opening might make sense for some. The slides are amazing and super fun. There is a little lazy river with a mister. One is the best public pools I've ever been to. No alcohol allowed, sadly, but probably for the best. Have fun!

My grandson and I had a great time at the pool. Very family oriented and the staff was very kind. The water was perfect for a hot summer day.

Not too crowded. Good place for a quick swim or a ride down the water slide
