About

Pool, park and slide are featured at this city-owned facility that's popular for birthday parties.

Specific pool temperatures for the Carl Albert Pool are not consistently published or readily available in public descriptions. As a seasonal outdoor community pool, its water temperature is generally maintained at a comfortable recreational level, influenced by ambient weather conditions.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool receives mixed reviews, with many praising it as a fun destination, especially for kids, highlighting clean water, an enjoyable slide (when operational), and its suitability for private parties (though concessions are closed during these events). However, significant concerns have been raised about lifeguard attentiveness and rule enforcement, with reports of distracted staff, unaddressed rule violations (running, unauthorized floaties, ball games), and potential safety hazards. Maintenance issues, such as a non-functional slide and a broken diving board, were also noted in one review. Suggestions for improvement include extending the operating season and daily hours, and introducing adults-only swim sessions to foster social connections.

Went for a private party. It was a lot of fun, especially for the kids. The slide was fun and faster than I expected. The concession stand is closed for private parties, so make sure you bring your own drinks and snacks. Water was clean and just the right temp. Would definitely rent again for a private party.

Moved here 2 years ago. We love the pool! We just wish it was open for a longer season, maybe until September. Also the hours maybe 10 a.m to 9 p.m. Also a great idea could be like once a week they could do an adults only swim like maybe on a Saturday from 6-10. So young adults can have a safe area to meet up for a date or meet like they did in the old days with fun social events in the area. For people that are only familiar with dating sites and only vague connections. This could be a real way to connect for the younger lonely generation.

The lifeguards were more concerned with flirting with the young men and trying to flatter the teenage boys and let numerous kids, as many as 8, stay in the deep area where the kids jump off the diving boards making it more difficult to see a child in stress because they aren’t watching the kids jump. They allowing kids to jump toward the side to get closer to the side. They allowed kids to grab at their life saving device and then tapped them off of it. Although the pool rules say no floaties, numerous kids wore them. Nerf footballs were flying all over the place hitting patrons that weren’t part of their “game”. The "no running rule" on the board is obviously no longer in effect either because there was much running going on. The slide did not work and one of the diving board didn’t work. Sorry excuse from what it was even one year ago. Hopefully they will find some life guards that know how to enforce the rules and will be there for safety of the patrons and invest in getting the pool repaired.

Definitely a far better city pool than I had access to back in my youth! Lifeguards and workers were all doing a fantastic job today. (June 18th 2024) The pool was clean and our lil ones had fun. Big thanks to the lifeguards for watching over so many children, God bless y'all!
