About
The Highlands-Middle Swimming Pool, located at 10913 Pine Estates Rd E, Jacksonville, FL 32218, USA, is a public swimming facility managed by the City of Jacksonville. It serves the local community, often in conjunction with Highlands Middle School, providing recreational swimming opportunities and a place for residents to cool off, especially during warmer months. It typically operates as a standard outdoor public pool.
Specific, consistent pool temperatures for the Highlands-Middle Swimming Pool are generally not publicly advertised. As a typical outdoor public pool in Florida, its temperature is largely influenced by ambient weather conditions. While some public pools may offer mild heating during cooler seasons, a precise or guaranteed temperature is not usually provided or maintained for recreational use.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool receives mixed reviews. Positive aspects include attentive lifeguards, free entry on Saturdays and Sundays, and the provision of float vests for children. However, the pool is notably deep (3'9" min, 12' max), making it less suitable for small children without life jackets and not handicap accessible. Key concerns include cleanliness issues such as a dirty pool bottom and widespread red ants, suggesting a need for pest control. Amenities are minimal, with no chairs or dedicated parent seating during swim lessons, and unsanitary Port-a-pots. While it was closed for several years, it reportedly reopened in Summer 2025.

Good little pool. It's free and they have float vests for kids. No other amenities but it's perfect to get out of the heat.

There is no place for parents to sit while their child is in swim lessons. The Port-a-pots are beyond needing housekeeping. Not so public ready here.

Very nice pool! Life guards are very attentive. It's deep! 12ft max, 3'9 minimum. It's not handicap accessible or small kid friendly without a life jacket. That's the only downside. No chairs or anything either but nice!

Pool was dirty at bottom, lifeguards were doing their job, red ants everywhere they were on me, my chair, the ground Literally everywhere they need pest control out there ASAP.
