What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this community pool offer a mixed perspective. While some praise its size, cleanliness, recent updates, and the good job done by lifeguards, others express significant dissatisfaction with overly strict guards, enforcing rules that restrict common activities like cannonballs or holding onto a partner.

Door open but pool closed. None of the crew wants to be there, Guards always on the phone, new management advised. Shame pool was closed for so long for the poor management.

This pool was updated during COVID. It's a big pool, always clean, and the life guards do a great job. They have water slides, but they are rarely used, it would be nice if they would let them be used more often.

Decent Hispanic community swimming pool experience more "accustomed" to local residents of Denver Harbor. Have not swam here personally but seen folks "in action". Just see mostly Mexican and Hispanic people out there. FEW blacks, whites other ethnicities if any present there at the times opened.
