I really appreciate the family friendly safe feeling of this community pool. The free mini golf is great! The staff was really friendly. Everything could use some care, however. The price is higher than what I would expect for this pool, but it keeps it less crowded and my boys and I had a great time. I think next summer we might buy a pass for Wednesday family swim. They're is an open air shower, lockers, one toilet and two changing stalls in the locker room. The lifeguards were pretty chill. The front desk lady was very friendly. I love the Christian music playing. One diving board is the main attraction.

Nice little pool, reasonably priced for private parties. Lifeguards Asher and Angel anytime they have been there take their job seriously and handle situations so maturely.

This is a nice, quiet community pool. It has never been too crowded when I have been there. Staff is friendly and gets to know customers a bit. Hours are limited, so be sure to check before you go! Day and season passes available.

River community Pool is owned by a church in our community, Raytown. The employees tend with the kindest service. The snack bar is Greta, includes frozen sweet treats as well as warm products such as nachos, pizza rolls and pretzels for a great price. They also serve sodas and water. There is a lifeguard on duty!! Such a sweet, great sized gem in our city!! They even have a divers diving board at 9 ft depth in deep and have a kiddie pool that I believe is 1 foot or maybe less. They have adult swim times and chairs to accommodate! 🥰❤️😋
