About

Outdoor swim club featuring 25-meter and 6-lane pools, plus a waterslide and playground.

Specific, regularly updated pool temperature information for the Oakcrest Community Pool is not typically made public. Community pools generally aim to maintain their water at a comfortable recreational temperature, which for outdoor facilities often falls within the range of 78-82°F (25-28°C) during their operational season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Early reviews are overwhelmingly positive, praising the facility for its beauty, cleanliness, ample space, activities, and especially the friendly, cheerful, and attentive staff and lifeguards, leading to strong recommendations. However, more recent reviews express significant dissatisfaction and frustration due to new management decisions, specifically drastic changes to pool hours (e.g., limiting access to 4 PM-8 PM or only weekends) under a new boss, Mr. Kyle. Long-time members feel these changes are inconvenient for families, were not communicated in advance despite paying full price, and have led to decisions to get refunds and no longer frequent the YMCA.

I posted such a good review because for 4 years. My family and I have been coming here. My children grew up at this pool club. And I used to go to camp years ago when I was little when I came here today. My first time coming back to this pool. That I once loved so much and my children enjoy and my family. I was told that they are no longer going to be open at regular pool hours. Now they have a new boss. Mr. Kyle, who says we can only come from 4 o'clock to 8 o'clock PM. I don't know anybody who can switch around their schedule to come to a pool for only 4 hours when I paid full pay. He didn't let anybody know it or inform them until the last minute.I got my refund and I will never be returning to the YMCA. I am completely baffled at why an individual would make a new "rule" that only allows us to come for 4 hours. During an evening when families cannot come nor other families. I would get my refund! If you want to enjoy a large open pool for summer! You can't any longer! Adios!!!!

I would have LOVED to have a place like this to spend a few hours a week when I was a kid! Tons of lifeguards and plenty of space & activities on the grounds!

Been coming here 4 years Was not crazy about the four pm Opening of the pool during the week , but I dealt With it now, I'm told you can only swim on the weekend that's ridiculous. You might get a few people to join that work during the week. But there are people that enjoy going during the week during the day. It looks like I'm not gonna be joining this year. I need a place to go during the week at least a couple days a week.sad Enjoyed the crew That was there last year, including George , but it is what it is.I guess they make more money on the camp
