Lancaster County Swimming Pool

About

Spacious community-owned pool at Central Park with a wading area and water slides.

Information regarding specific pool temperatures for the Lancaster County Swimming Pool is not readily available. As an outdoor public facility, the pools are generally unheated, with water temperatures varying based on ambient weather conditions and sun exposure.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool is generally appreciated for its beauty, being a good place to cool off, and its family-friendly environment, particularly for children. However, there are notable and recurring issues, primarily concerning the lifeguards and staff. Multiple reviews describe lifeguards as unprofessional, "stuck up," or "out of control," sometimes yelling without cause or prematurely closing the pool. There are also serious complaints about staff not intervening when patrons engage in disruptive behavior like blasting music and smoking. Additional minor points include the pool being crowded and only offering vending machines. Conversely, one review specifically praised the staff for being professional and present.

Beautiful pool but the lifeguards treat it like their country club...very stuck up. Also they must have x-ray hearing because they jump the gun on closing...we were there twice and they delayed for hours because of thunder that no one heard.

There is a large group of people here blasting music. And smoking pot and staff refuses to do anything about it. It’s ruining my daughters and my 4th.

Very crowded . Only vending machines. But it is a great pool to cool off, and the kids enjoy it.

I love this pool, but the lifeguards are out of control. I was walking one day and the lifeguard wanted to yell at me for no reason at all.
