About

Town swimming pool where some people say it's great to cool down on hot summer days.

The specific, consistently published temperature for the pools at Evergreen Park Kluthe Pool is not readily available. As an outdoor public facility, pool temperatures typically fluctuate based on weather conditions but are generally maintained at a comfortable level for swimmers during its operational season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool generally offers a fun experience for families and children, featuring a variety of slides for different age groups and a separate swimming pool. Guests appreciate the evening hours and less crowded atmosphere after 2 PM, with some noting its quality favorably compared to pools in other towns. However, significant concerns were raised regarding maintenance, including chipping paint and sharp, missing chunks on slides, posing safety risks. There are also complaints about inattentive lifeguards and unmanaged behavior of older children on slides. Operational issues include cash-only concessions (despite card payments accepted at entrance), lack of shower curtains, and no locks on bathroom doors, which guests find inconvenient and indicative of poor management.

Fun little pool we like to visit when we come to town. A little something for all five of my kids. I GREATLY appreciate their evening hours as I don’t like to be in the sun mid day.

It's a really fun place for the kids to swim. 3 kid water slides and a large one for older kids and adults, plus a second pool just for swimming:) If you swim a lot then pool passes are the way to go! We go after 2pm because it is less crowded....

Pool has paint chipping very bad. The slide has big chunks missing that is sharp and cuts your leg. The lifeguards don't even look up to watch the pool. I watched their eyes for 2 minutes and not once did they look up at the pool. The other lifeguard had their face covered with a towel. There's no way they could see a person in distress. My kids are 2 and 3 yrs old. I'm right there but my 3yr old tried to go down a slide and big kids were fighting on it. I asked the lifeguard why this is allowed since it kept happening. The kids heard me tell the lifeguard so they stopped long enough for my child to use the slide then went back to fighting. They were sitting under the bottom. Just behavior that allows no one else to use the slide and the lifeguard didn't say anything.

Very nice afternoon at my hometown pool. For those who have complained, go to other town’s public pool and see what you get?! I now live in Springfield and there public pools are overcrowded and old. I mean, 1970s, old. So, just appreciate what you have here!

Concession only accept cash. We had to leave to get lunch bc they wouldn't take a card...yet they take cards at the entrances. Probably should have that listed on the website so people know to bring CASH. Anyone can get card chip readers for free now a days, so it just seems lazy on management's part and an inconvenience for guests who have spent money to play all day, but can't eat. None of the showers have curtians, none of the bathrooms have locks.
