Stallings Gentilly Pool - Swimming Pool

About

Public swimming pool offering family-friendly facilities.

Specific, routinely reported pool temperature information for Stallings Gentilly Pool is not readily available. As a public outdoor pool, its water temperature is generally unheated and fluctuates primarily with ambient air temperature and weather conditions.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Stallings is a highly-regarded, free, and well-maintained outdoor pool facility, praised for its cleanliness, lack of overcrowding, and clearly defined sections catering to families (shallow area), deep-end swimmers, and lap swimmers. Reviewers consistently highlight the responsible, friendly, and helpful lifeguards and staff. It's considered very family-friendly and is part of a larger park offering additional amenities like swings and sports fields. The main criticisms are a desire for more extended operating hours, particularly past the summer season and inclusion of Sundays.

Stallings is my go-to water recreation spot! I love that there are such clearly defined sections of the pool: -Shallow Section for families, kids, and folks who want to swim in less depth. - Deep End for swimmers that want more space to do water aerobics and free swimming. -Two Lap Lanes for folks who are looking for more structured exercise and individualized swimming experience. Most of the lifeguards are teenagers and they are pretty serious about the job responsibilities. I have only noticed them horseplaying a couple of times and the director was quick to redirect the behaviour. It's a beautiful opportunity to swim in a free outdoor pool, I only wish they had more extended hours past the summer.

Stallings Gentilly is an old pool Center but it's been very well maintained throughout the years. The pool area and restrooms are very clean. The lifeguards and staff or very friendly and helpful. It's a very large pool facility and I really enjoy lap swimming. I would recommend anyone with kids to bring the entire family. There's also swings, a Baseball field, Basketball court and trees to sit under in the park to just unwind and enjoy the beautiful Scenery! 🧡

My daughter loves going! There's always lifeguards on duty and it's family friendly, but what I like most is how clean it is!
