About

Public swimming pool offering lane reservations, a coat check, and locker rooms.

Specific pool temperatures for the Park Hill Aquatic Center are not publicly listed. As a seasonal outdoor facility, the pools are typically unheated and the water temperature is generally comfortable for swimming during the summer operating months.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this pool are mixed but generally positive, especially for lap swimming. Many praise its affordability ($5 entry for non-members), clean locker rooms and bathrooms, online lane reservation system, and the amenity of music playing during hour-long lap sessions. Staff and community options also received positive remarks from some users. However, there are conflicting opinions on water temperature; some find it a little too warm for serious lap swimming, while others describe it as chilly or even 'way too cold' for baby classes. A significant negative experience was reported regarding baby&me classes, citing a decline in quality after a specific instructor left, unprofessional staff (including the main director), and an unaccommodating policy regarding cold water, leading to a denial of refunds.

solid pool with cheap entry price of $5 a person for lap swim. Locker rooms were normal, no suit dryer, but that's okay. Pool is a little warm for lap swim, but good for mild activity.

The water is chilly, but my baby does well with the swim lessons. No real complaints.

Used to be a great place for baby&me classes. Once Charlie left the place went downhill quick. Very unprofessional. Would not recommend for any parents. Pool water was way too cold for my daughter so she did not swim one class and I was told I would not get a refund because they could not prove the water was too cold. They did not have any tools to test the water so they could not prove it was warm enough. Should get 0 stars. Main director, Danielle is so unprofessional and disrespectful.

This is a great place to swim laps. Only $5 if you don't have a membership. You can reserve a lane online. Locker rooms and bathrooms always clean, pool is heated, and they play music over the speakers. Also, you get the lane for a whole hour. Highly recommend.
