Clean neighborhood park featuring a large swimming pool, a gym and a weight room.

Specific, regularly published pool temperatures for Gibson Park Public Pool are not readily available in public domain information.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility, identified as Gibson Park, is highly lauded as a world-class establishment, often exceeding national and international standards for parks and recreation. Its swimming pool is consistently praised as a genuine, Olympic-regulation lap pool that is exceptionally clean, well-maintained (40m, plenty of lanes), open daily and late, and available for an affordable $3 entry fee, with free life vests. Beyond the pool, the park offers an impressive array of amenities including regulation football (artificial turf) and baseball fields with grandstands, scoreboards, and press boxes, modern bathrooms with showers, a contemporary weight room, and a gym. Reviewers highlight the consistently friendly, professional, and attentive staff, and note the overall cleanliness of the entire facility, including its showers and restrooms. The location is convenient, being just blocks from downtown and near other local services. Alonzo Mourning and Dwight Stephenson Construction are acknowledged for their contributions and upgrades to the facility and community.

A real swimming pool not the kind of pool you see at the gym where people think it’s a bathtub. It’s a real genuine lap pool and it’s so clean. You feel like jumping in.

This facility is on par with any similar facility in the continental United States. That is any Parks and Recreation facility within any State's borders and the amenities associated within that particular facility. The amenities associated with Gibson Park equate many facilities not only on this continent, they also quite likely exceed others internationally! Where else do you find a facility that has an Olympic regulation/competition pool; a regulation football (artificial turf) field; a regulation baseball (diamond) field; containing grandstands, scoreboard, goal posts, and an official 'press/coordinators' box? Also the facility contains bathrooms with showers, a contemporary weight room, and a gym that you may get a chance to see a myriad of NBA players in pick-up games. All this at Gibson Park and thank you very much to Alonzo Mourning. A benefactor whom has adopted the community (Overtown/Miami) and consistently puts work in personally. The adjoining facility, Overtown Youth Center, is currently being upgraded by Dwight Stephenson Construction. He is of course the former center for the Miami Dolphins. World Class Facility. Visit when the opportunity presents itself. JE.
