About

Public swimming pool that's good for kids.

Specific pool temperatures for the Averill Boulevard Park Swimming Pool Complex are not publicly available. As an outdoor municipal pool, temperatures likely vary with ambient weather conditions and are not consistently maintained or published online.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the Avril Park pool facility are largely positive, highlighting excellent safety measures, a well-maintained and spacious environment, and professional, vigilant lifeguards who are particularly good with children. Many visitors appreciate the cleanliness of the pool area, changing rooms, and restrooms, and recommend it as a great family destination. However, there are conflicting opinions on cleanliness, with one reviewer stating the place was not clean. A significant negative point raised is regarding the office staff, who are described as rude, unknowledgeable, unhelpful, and having a bad attitude, with one user even accusing them of racism after a poor experience with residency rules and payment. Separately, the community center's free arts classes are praised for friendly staff, but the interior is noted as needing an update due to being outdated and in disrepair.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting one of our town’s pool at Avril Park and I felt compelled to share my experience, particularly regarding the safety measures in place and the professionalism of the staff. As a local resident, I believe it's essential to highlight how well this facility is maintained, especially in terms of safety, cleanliness, and overall enjoyment. Their vigilance is commendable; they maintain a watchful eye without being intrusive, striking a perfect balance that allows guests to relax. The pool itself is clearly well-maintained to meet the highest safety standards. There are clear depth markers, and the layout includes designated shallow and deep areas, which is particularly beneficial for families with young children. Additionally, the presence of safety equipment, such as life rings and first aid kits, is reassuring. I observed the staff actively engaging with guests, reminding them of the rules and encouraging safe behaviors without being overly strict. I was impressed by the cleanliness of the facility, including the changing rooms and restrooms. The maintenance team clearly takes pride in their work, ensuring that everything is in top shape for visitors. The pool area is spacious, allowing plenty of room for swimming, lounging, and enjoying the sun!

Great place to bring your kids and family to cool down at the pool or play/walk in the park, during the summer the life guards are amazing, and always on top of the kids safety.Our family are frequent visitors, even family enjoys it when visiting in town.

The community center interior certainly needs an update. Lots in disrepair and outdated. The staff was very friendly and for a free arts class on Saturdays in the Fall for an hour it was good.
