About
Indoor and outdoor pool featuring a zero-depth area for young children and aquatic slides.
Specific information regarding the exact water temperature of the pool(s) at Davies Recreational Pool is not publicly listed on the Fargo Parks website or other easily accessible official sources.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool is generally popular with children due to its fun slides, dedicated small kids' area, and water features, often being described as the best outdoor pool in the area. However, several significant issues detract from the experience. Lifeguards are frequently described as overly strict, constantly whistling and limiting activities, including playing with children. The pool often becomes overcrowded, particularly in deeper swim areas and on weekends, making relaxation difficult. Maintenance is a major concern, with one review noting cloudy water and algae growth on the floor and walls. Other complaints include a lack of working drinking fountains, limited healthy food options (only junk food and sodas), and conflicting feedback on the availability of deck loungers.

Fun and nice pool and slides. They also have lots of pool loungers available so that's great! In my opinion, lifeguards are way too strict! You basically can't do anything except stand in the water. For everything else you get whistled at. Can't even play with your kids properly.. you just hear whistles blowing the whole time..

The deeper swim area is small. Gets very overcrowded. Basically, standing room only. They do not have enough deck loungers. There is definitely plenty of room for more. The drinking fountains on the pool deck were not working. They were torn apart on the bottom and left open.

Was at pool July 22, 2025. Pool was cloudy, floor and walls of pool were turning green from algae growth. Poorly maintained. Disgusting actually for a public pool. So a 1 for that. Kids loved it so for that I would give 5 stars. Serve only junk food and sodas so a 1 for that.

I give it 5 stars for the set up/design of the pool, but 1-2 stars for how relaxing it actually is. I feel like there is always way too many people, even on Wednesdays & Sundays for family swim. It definitely is the best outdoor pool in Fargo. The kids love it, two big slides, a nice area for small kiddos, and if you get here early enough to stand in line, you can be lucky to snatch up a picnic table under the big umbrellas! The big orange bucket does a big water dump too, and the kids absolutely love it!
