About
Sylvan Park Pool, located at 1800 Sylvan Ave, Natrona Heights, PA 15065, USA, is an outdoor public swimming facility managed by Harrison Township. It typically operates seasonally during the summer months, offering a recreational space for the community. Amenities often include a main swimming pool, a dedicated shallow area or kiddie pool, and potentially a diving board, along with basic park facilities like picnic areas and concessions.
Specific temperature information for the pool(s) at Sylvan Park Pool is not consistently or publicly available. As an outdoor public swimming facility, the water temperature is largely dependent on ambient weather conditions, and pools of this type are typically unheated or minimally heated, fluctuating with the outdoor air and sun.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This facility is highly praised for its cleanliness, including the pool, bathrooms, and changing rooms. A standout feature is the large, easy-going water slide, which is popular among visitors. The concession stand offers a wide and reasonably priced selection of food and drinks, with several items receiving specific recommendations. Staff are noted as kind, and lifeguards are attentive, ensuring safety. The pool itself is well-maintained, divided into sections, and includes a separate kiddie pool. It's considered a great spot for families and people of all ages to enjoy the summer. However, there are a few drawbacks: some child-friendly pool areas lack steps, making entry/exit difficult for parents with babies, and the lawn can become muddy after rain. Additionally, there are no pool chairs, and while a volleyball court is present, users need to bring their own equipment and group. Despite these minor issues, many reviewers express high satisfaction and a strong intent to return, often planning to purchase memberships.

TLDR: Very clean, huge slide, staff is very kind, large selection of cheap goodies at the concession stand :) I'm fond of the large slide that's set on the side of a hill. I found out that you're supposed to talk to a lifeguard or bug a staff member before you just walk into the pool area and hop on the slide, but we didn't get yelled at so it's all good. The line starts at the base of the slide where the staff hang out, so if you just run up the grass hill, you may cut someone off. The pool itself is divided into sections. You have to go under ropes to get from one section to another. There's roped off areas for lap swimmers as well. Oh and there's a separate kiddie pool with a really cute whale 🐳 At the time of writing this review, I've tried everything except the kiddie pool (I'm 28) and really like it here! The slide is easy going and the joints don't catch on my skin at all, and the pool is clean with several life guards on duty. I just had some food and it's really good, although the drink is a bit smaller than what I expected. Please bring flip flops or easy slip on shoes for your kids. The sidewalks are a bit coarse. There's also a volleyball thing in the corner, but there's nobody using it so you'd probably have to bring a bunch of people and your own volleyball. Will definitely be purchasing the membership and coming back many times!

Pool itself is nice and very clean as well as the bathrooms and changing rooms. Food court was reasonably priced and had a large selection. However, there are no steps in the child friendly areas of the pool so if you are there with a baby or young child it is impossible to get into the pool alone safely. I was not allowed to walk down the stairs with my 8 month old and take her to the child friendly side of the pool either. I have to have someone hold her while I climb down the ladder and then hand her to me, same for getting out. Not to mention that if it has rained at all recently the entire lawn area is a complete mud pit.

Great family pool. Life guards keep everything in check. Good food for a concession stand. Love the water slide. Just wish they had pool chairs, but at least the grass is nice. No smoking either.😎

One of our favorite summer hang out spots! Sylvan is well maintained and clean. The concession stand is a favorite of all our girls. We go as often as we can! Make sure to order blue dew, fries and a slice of pizza 😋👍🏻
