About

Built in 1935, this historic pool offers 2 water slides, zero-entry access, and a diving well.

The specific water temperature for Fred Maytag Pool is not publicly listed or regularly provided. As an outdoor community pool, its temperature is typically maintained at a comfortable level for swimming, generally fluctuating with the ambient weather conditions and usually ranging from the high 70s to low 80s Fahrenheit during operating hours.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool generally receives very positive feedback, particularly as a safe and engaging environment for children due to its waterslides, diving boards, and dedicated toddler area. Many reviewers praise the friendly and attentive staff, excellent value ($45 season passes, $5 daily entry), and reasonable snack bar prices. Additional amenities like free parking, shower facilities, and proximity to local attractions are also noted. While more seating and an ATM (cash-only snack bar) are suggested improvements, one review stands out by reporting consistently rude staff, resulting in a poor experience for that individual.

Always a great day at the pool here! Kids love it and the staff are always good to us! Season passes at 45 dollars. Can’t beat that! More seating would be the only thing that could improve
