About

Indoor community center offering a swimming pool with a water slide, diving board, and hot tub, plus swimming lessons.

The pool at the Orchard Mesa Community Center is heated to ensure a comfortable swimming experience, typically maintained at approximately 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.7 degrees Celsius).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Orchard Mesa community pool is an older facility valued by local families as a vital, safe space, particularly during hot summers, and the community is actively working to keep it open. It offers features like diving boards, an indoor section, and a kids' water slide, and has been praised for hosting children's parties with friendly staff and ample swimming space. However, it receives criticism for needing maintenance, having dirty locker rooms, and for lifeguards being perceived as overly serious or even confrontational, which some find detracts from a fun or relaxing experience, especially for older teens and adults who might prefer other local recreational centers.

Orchard Mesa community pool is located in a thriving neighborhood of families who are fighting very hard to keep it open. It's a little bit older, and needs a little TLC, however, it serves a vital purpose for this area. Summers are very long and hot in the desert, this pool provides a lovely respite during the hottest summer days. Little bit of maintenance and it will continue to provide these families with a safe space to spend time with their children and relax.

I took my daughter here for a birthday party 🎈. She had a great time swimming with friends and playing in the pool. The staff was friendly, and there were lifeguards watching the kids. The pool was not real busy, so that gave space for the kids to swim freely. All in all, my daughter had a blast and wants to go back sometime!! I'm not much on chlorine pools, but once in a while wouldn't be bad :) for a small outting!

Dirty locker rooms and lifeguards who take it too seriously, if you wanna come by to get get yelled at and berated with children then I suggest this place but if your looking for actual fun and relaxing time try else where this place is a joke so are the guards
