The Stevenson Community Pool, located at 330 NW Gropper Rd, Stevenson, WA, is an outdoor, heated public swimming facility. It operates seasonally, typically from June to August, and features both a main pool and a separate wading pool, serving as a key recreational spot for the local community.
The Stevenson Community Pool is an outdoor, heated facility designed for comfortable swimming. While the exact water temperature is not explicitly published, outdoor community pools are generally maintained at a pleasant range for recreational use, often around 80-85°F (27-29°C). This applies to both the main pool and the wading pool.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool receives mixed reviews, with some visitors praising its clean, warm water, fun slide, and friendly staff, and finding it suitable for lap swimming with good lane availability. However, significant concerns are raised regarding lifeguard professionalism, with reports of them being on their phones, inattentive, rude, and immature. Other negative points include inconsistent and sometimes uncomfortably cold water for lap swimmers, and constantly clogged shower drains. A critical issue highlighted is the Stevenson Pool District's failure to pay a lifeguard instructor, which means the lifeguards are currently uncertified, posing a safety risk. There is also a strong desire for the pool to open on Sundays to accommodate more community members.

We love going to the pool! Water is clean and warm and the slide is so much fun for the kids!! The staff is friendly! I have no complaints at all!!
I lap swim and can always get a lane. Water temp hovers around 82°, is clean and doesn't reek of chlorine, or dry my skin out. Nice hot showers after!
I am sad to say the pool I loved and attended my whole life is no longer the same. There are very caring people there however, the lifeguards find it acceptable to be on their phones way too often sit and talk to one another hardly paying any attention...the water is uncomfortable. Last time they said it was 77 but no matter how fast I swam I was shivering I literally couldn't do it. They complain about people complaining but it really is an issue...in speaking up to a lifeguard I received a very shocking reaction in which he was very rude and later was dishonest when confronted. I find the times teenage lifeguards are working to have better luck but as some one who once worked at the pool I'm embarrassed to see lifeguards there behave so poorly and allow the drains in the showers to clog constantly...they could use some help. Not bad if you're just stoping by but if you want to swim laps regularly expect cold water and immature unprofessional lifeguards. (At least currently this was not always my experience)
I'd LOVE for the pool to open on Sundays. Is there any chance of that happening? Looks so nice. Not everyone can go on a Saturday or during the week...
I was the Lifeguard instructor that came from Portland to certify the guards so you can open your pool and have a safe facility. The contract was clear that payment was to be made on the final day of class which covers the certification fee to the American Red Cross. Unfortunately the Stevenson Pool District has not made payment and has not given a timeline when full payment will be made. At this point no lifeguard are certified to guard that pool. I wish this was not the case, I have worked hard to open pools over the last two years and have never had a failure to pay until now. I will not be returning to instruct in Stevenson again and will recommending to other LGIT's do the same. As soon as payment is made I will finalize the certification of the guards who are not at fault here, it is the management that has let them down and the community, buy failing to pay a contract.
