About

L-shaped public pool featuring a spray area, playground and snack bar.

Specific, real-time pool temperature data for Rahway Pool is not consistently published or readily available without direct inquiry to the facility. Public pools of this type generally maintain comfortable swimming temperatures, typically ranging from 78-84°F (25.5-29°C) during operational hours, though this can vary with weather conditions and specific pool areas.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Rahway Pool is generally well-received as an affordable community pool that welcomes both residents and non-residents. Patrons appreciate its cleanliness, the availability of a concession stand, and the allowance of outside food and drinks, coolers, and umbrellas. Staff, including young workers and lifeguards, are frequently described as courteous, professional, and attentive without being overly strict with children. The pool features sections for babies, offers plenty of parking, and benefits from mid-day cleanings. Many find it a great, sometimes uncrowded, spot for a family day out. However, a significant downside often mentioned is the excessively long wait times to enter the facility, which can be frustrating, particularly in hot weather, and has led to negative interactions regarding entry management.

Rahway pool is awesome. I'm out of county. Their pricing can't be beat for me. The young folk working there are courteous and professional. The place I clean. Their concession stand has good food. Everyone follows the rules (no retched behavior) Love that place ❤️

It's nice to have a community pool that is open to having guests and nonresidents welcomed. The pool is clean, has plenty of parking, offers some snacks and drinks, lets you bring in your own food & drinks, and is really affordable. $5 per person for county residents and $10 for nonresidents. Everyone is instructed to evacuate the pool for cleaning during mid day which is nice. Lifeguards are on watch at all times. It's also nice to see they aren't overly strict on the kids; jump in the pool, make some splashes, it's all good. A star knocked off for the long wait time to get in though. Arriving on time at 12oclock and still waiting 60 mins to get in is too much

Nice public pool. Outside food and drinks are allowed. They have a food/snack stand there also. Great for a day out with the family. Life guards and staff are super friendly. Cost is not bad. Hours and prices are in attached photos. The pool has sections for the smaller babies.
