About

The South St. Paul Northview Pool, located at 635 18th Ave N, South St Paul, MN 55075, USA, is an indoor aquatic facility operated by the City of South St. Paul. It offers a variety of recreational opportunities for all ages, including open swimming, lap lanes, water aerobics, and swimming lessons. The pool features a zero-depth entry, a water slide, and a water play area, making it a popular destination for families and individuals seeking year-round aquatic fun.

Specific pool temperature details for the South St. Paul Northview Pool are not consistently published on public city resources. Indoor municipal pools typically maintain temperatures suitable for recreational swimming, lessons, and water exercise, often ranging from approximately 80-84°F (27-29°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The swimming pool receives mixed reviews, highlighting both positive aspects and significant areas for improvement. Patrons generally appreciate the "fun, simple" environment, "beautiful setup," good price, and tasty snacks. However, a major recurring complaint centers on cleanliness, with descriptions of dirty water, bugs, gross locker rooms, and unpleasant smells in certain pool areas, specifically like urine or feces. Other concerns include staff inconsistency in enforcing rules, lack of clear signage for designated swimming zones, and perceived rudeness. Suggestions for improvement include better utilization of pool space (e.g., adjusting buoy lines), adding bathroom mirrors, and a more thorough cleaning regimen. Despite these drawbacks, some visitors expressed a willingness to return.

Fun, simple swimming pool. My only recommendations would be to not block off half of the pool just because of the diving board and climbing wall. Move the buoys/cones up, it is a waste of swimming area that could be utilized. Also, add a mirror in the bathroom. My niece got a bloody nose and ran in there only to find she couldnt see herself to clean her face up.

Pool was very dirty, I started getting nauseous due to a certain smell. A staff told me i couldn’t have my child at a certain area due to him being small even if i was holding onto her. A few minutes later a small girl went to that same area UNSUPERVISED and ALONE but nothing was told to her nor parents! Staff don’t tell you where you can and can’t be swimming beforehand. They should have signs of where you need to be and not be! Overall this was the worst place to swim at! Dirtiest place and rude staff!

Beautiful setup, close to my home and great price.... But Not to clean, lockers rooms were kinda gross. And my kids and other kids and adults were complaining about certain areas in the pool smelled like pee and poop.... Should really have a cleaning crew. Then it'll be perfect...
