About
The Ottawa Pool, officially known as the Ottawa Aquatic Center, is a public outdoor aquatic facility located at 310 N Locust St, Ottawa, KS. It features a zero-depth entry, two large water slides, a rock-climbing wall, a current channel, and multiple play features for children, making it a popular summer destination for recreation.
Specific pool temperatures for the Ottawa Aquatic Center are not readily available or typically published. As an outdoor public aquatic facility, its water temperature is generally subject to ambient weather conditions and is not consistently maintained at a specific degree.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Customers generally appreciate the pool for its clean water, alert lifeguards, and reasonable prices for entry and snacks, noting that there are usually enough sunbeds and options for treats. However, significant dissatisfaction has been expressed regarding new pool break rules, which mandate all individuals under 18 to exit the pool (including shallow areas), causing most supervising adults to also leave. Many find these frequent and lengthy breaks (15 minutes every 30 minutes) to be excessive and would prefer a return to previous rules or less restrictive break policies. Another common request is for more shade (such as umbrellas, awnings, or sun sails) and additional seating, particularly on hot days. One user also reported an issue with inaccurate opening hours listed on the website.

I brought my grandkids to swim in this pool because your website says it’s open today from 1 to 6 matter fact it says it’s open right now and there’s no one there and it’s almost 2 in the afternoon… do you know how hot it is today? Going to the pool would be the only reason I would get out in it so yeah, it was irritating.

A great pool with alert lifeguards. I wish they would invest in more shade. More sun sails. More seats. Reasonable priced to get in and reasonably priced snacks.

The pool breaks used to always be fine because you could still swim in the shallow part where the buckets are. This year the new pool rule is that everyone under 18 can not be in the pool at all. I think that’s a bit ridiculous and excessive. Barely anyone stays in the pool during breaks because they have to stay out to watch their kids. Why not change it back to where you can still be in the shallow area during pool breaks?

Pool is really nice. But I think having everyone under 18 get out of the pool every 30 mins and stay out for 15 mins is excessive. They say people over 18 can stay in, but most get out to watch their kids. There was 1 to 2 people that stayed in over all the breaks RIDICULOUS!!! Maybe a 20 min break every hour would make it better.

I like this place, my son is happy here))) The water is clean, there are enough sunbeds for everyone. There's an opportunity to buy drinks, ice cream, sweets for kids))) But I would like to have more shade on hot days, so... it would be great to have umbrellas or awnings.
