About
Public facility with a handicap-accessible pool and a wading pool, plus Olympic-standard diving areas.
Information regarding specific, consistent pool temperatures for Brookside Pool is not publicly advertised. As an outdoor public facility, its water temperature is typically unheated and will fluctuate based on ambient weather conditions and sun exposure, generally being comfortable for swimming during the summer operating season.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This facility garners mixed feedback. Positive aspects include its affordability ($5 adult entry), a large pool with handicap access, and ample parking, including for RVs. The adjacent park is highly praised as a 'gem' with renovated mini-golf, good ice cream, and suitability for family reunions, sometimes featuring live music. However, significant criticisms include inconsistent enforcement of swimwear rules, where guests felt singled out and were denied refunds when asked to cover up or leave. Other reported issues are a lack of poolside chairs, some non-functioning showers, no secure locker facilities for belongings, and the absence of a senior discount.

I’ve gone to this pool multiple times throughout the years never had an issue till yesterday. Me and my friends were swimming in the pool and one of my friends realizes the old lady with white hair(assuming owner) was pointing at all of us across the pool talking to a staff member. Not even 5 mins later the staff member comes up to us saying that our bathing suits are highcut and we would need to cover up or we could go home to change. Now I live 25 mins away im not gonna waste my gas to go change. So we ask if they can do a refund. Nope not at all they don’t do refunds. We start to look around the pool looking at other peoples bathing suits some people had the same type of style bathing suit or showing more skin. (And other rules that the pool has that people didn’t follow)I think it’s very unprofessional and rude to single out certain ppl when there’s others that are showing just as much skin. Your lifeguards show just as much skin down below as the people who pay to come swim. Next time if you’re gonna have rules imply them to everyone not just certain people. Will be last time there.

This delightful community pool was $5 for an adult. No senior discount available. The pool is large and has handicap access. There are very few poolside chairs. Most people brought large towels to lounge on the grass. The parking lot is large and accommodated my RV without trouble. There's a concession area with picnic tables that I didn't access. There's a handicap shower. Some of the showers didn't work. There are spots to place belongings but no place to lock them up. No electric outlets for drying your hair. Wish I had time to explore the adjacent park, which was HUGE! What a beautiful resource for this lovely town! It looks like a place well worth a longer stay for exploring.
