About
Highland Park Swimming Pool, located at 1720 Jimmie Rogers Dr, Meridian, MS, is a public outdoor aquatic facility. Situated within the historic Highland Park, it offers seasonal recreational swimming opportunities, typically operating during the summer months for the community.
Specific pool temperature information is not publicly available for Highland Park Swimming Pool. As a public outdoor pool, its temperature typically fluctuates with the ambient air temperature and is generally unheated.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The swimming facility is generally enjoyed by families, offering an Olympic-sized pool, a splash pad, and a kiddie pool with lifeguards on duty and a reasonable entry fee. However, several users reported inaccurate online operating hours, stating the pool is closed on Sundays and not open all week as advertised. A significant concern raised was the presence of unsupervised young children disrupting the main pool, with issues of parents not monitoring their kids or intervening in potentially unsafe situations. While the water itself was described as clean, some noted a lack of maintenance regarding surface debris like bugs and leaves. The building is also mentioned as being old and in need of renovation.

Fun pool for the kids. Olympic sized. Lifeguards on Duty. Online says open all week but they are only open Monday thru Saturday.

I’m on the fence with this one. We took a road trip to Meridian on a hot summer day. It was a nice surprise to find a public swimming pool next to one of our destinations. It cost just under $15 for 4 of us to swim. There were 3 lifeguards on duty. One at the desk, and one at each pool. There is a splash pad in the outer area and a kiddie pool next to this pool. There were two women with small kids in the splash pad. They decided that they wanted to swim once they saw us swimming. They stayed in the kiddie pool for a few minutes but then wanted to get in the big pool. I’m not sure of the rules or age limits, but they were allowed to get in the big pool even though the adults accompanying them were not getting in. The two women with these children didn’t seem to care that their small, loud, obnoxious children were being disruptive in the swimming area where the teenagers and adults were swimming. One of the children jumped in the pool and started struggling to swim. Neither of the women took any initiative to help her. The lifeguard did take action. And I get that’s their job. BUT, as a parent, I’m not standing back waiting on someone else to act if my child is in danger. I feel that those children were too young and too small for a big pool. There should be age requirements or at least require that their parent or guardian is actually going to swim WITH them and monitor them. It kinda ruined the fun for us that there was constantly some type of issues while these kids were there. The pool water was “clean” but the lifeguards had not been keeping the bugs and leaves out. The building is extremely old and in need of a coat of paint or something. It wasn’t a horrible experience but considering we had to pay for it, it should have been better.

This place looks awesome, but is definitely closed Sundays, despite what Google times say.
