You guys need to tell the teenagers to calm down. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been kicked in my privates, elbowed in the eye or people trying to swim right over me.

Enjoyed many many summer days and nights at this pool when I was a kid and teenager in the 80's. Many great memories.

The employees take the free lunch and give out scraps to the kids literally watch the employees take the chocolate milks and give half open food to the kids begging for chocolate milk . The pool is always shut down because the employees always make up something to close early and not work parks department employees always chilling and discussing shutting the pool Down in front of everyone like nobody hears them . Do better community kids deserve better .

I like the pool but you have to go early because they only let a group of people go at a time.And they don’t let people that went go again
