What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews indicate a mix of positive and negative experiences at the pool. Positives include great swim lessons, a well-liked zero-depth entrance, and clean family changing rooms. However, several significant issues were noted: a long-standing wasp problem in the playground, unmaintained garden beds, lifeguards failing to enforce rules regarding hard balls in the pool, instances of the pool being unexpectedly closed during stated open hours, difficult-to-use ladders for exiting the pool, and excessively hot sidewalks. One review mentioned it was 'so good except one thing', implying a generally positive experience with a single unstated flaw.

The swim lessons are great and we visit this pool occasionally through the summer. However, for years now there has a been a wasp problem in the playground and the garden beds in the parking lot are completely unmaintained and overgrown. Sad to see a city pool so neglected.

We love the zero depth entrance to the pool. It can sometimes be hard to climb out of the pool using the ladders. The family changing room was clean. If you could only do something about the sidewalks that feel like you're walking on hot lava. Lol
