About
The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Pool, located within Martin Luther King Memorial Park at 1701 Broadway St, Indianapolis, IN, is a popular outdoor public aquatic facility. It features a diving board, 25-meter lap lanes for swimming, a zero-depth entry area ideal for young swimmers, and an adjacent splash pad, making it a family-friendly seasonal destination for the community.
Indy Parks pools, including the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Pool, are typically not heated. Therefore, the water temperature fluctuates with the ambient air temperature and sunshine, generally being cool at the start of the season and warming up throughout the summer months.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this facility are mixed and contradictory. Several recent visitors express significant disappointment, reporting that the pool is closed, empty, and appears to have been inoperable for a long time, despite some earlier reviews indicating it was open. Conversely, many other reviews are highly positive, praising the facility for its great splash pad that entertains young children, clean and crystal-clear pool, plenty of lifeguards, friendly staff, and good prices. Positive comments also highlight a well-stocked park with amenities like a monkey bar and basketball court, pretty grounds for strolling, and a safe environment, particularly for children. Some past visitors highly recommend it for beating the summer heat, noting extended hours on Thursdays.

Pool was closed, no lifeguard on duty. Walked around to look at pool area, pool is completely empty and looks as if it hasn’t been opened in forever. I came because a review from 2 weeks ago showed it was open and running. Disappointed is the least I could say

It might be great if it was ever open; but I think it's been a long time since that happened.

I love they have a great splash part for my 4-year old. It keeps him entertained and he doesn't even bother going over with my other children in the deeper end. Overall, great pool, good prices and friendly staff. We love it and visit all the time.

The summer of 2018 I took my son on their last day he seemed to enjoy hisself, the park was full of friendly people and staff so we will return again this summer. A great place to take your children to have fun. It also seemed pretty safe.

I don't know why this pool isn't rated the highest of all the Indy Park Pools. It is clean with plenty of lifeguards on watch and a swimming area for the children and the adults. The pool is crystal clear! There is a fully stocked park for every age , with an amazing monkey bar! There is a two hooped basketball court and grounds that are so pretty for a stroll or walking your dog. I would give this park more stars if I could! Get there and get your swim on! PS they have extended hours on Thursday ( they stay open until 8:00 pm )! I highly recommend this pool/park for anyone looking to beat the summer heat! A+++
