About

Park with a pool, disc golf course, tennis court and children's playground.

Maytag Pool, an outdoor public swimming facility within Maytag Park, typically operates at ambient temperatures. As a standard outdoor pool, its water temperature is primarily influenced by the weather and sunlight, and specific, consistently maintained temperatures are not generally published.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This park receives overwhelmingly positive reviews, consistently described as a 'great' and 'awesome' venue. Reviewers praise its spaciousness, offering ample room for children of all ages to run, play, and enjoy a wide variety of playground equipment, from toddlers to older kids. The park is noted for being large enough to accommodate many families and is a popular spot for family reunions. Facilities generally include clean or well-maintained restrooms (though some noted a lack of soap) and picnic areas with some shade. One reviewer specifically appreciated an enclosed area, which provides a safe environment for children prone to wandering. The grounds are well-manicured, and some also highlight excellent entertainment. The primary suggestions for improvement were the addition of soap dispensers in restrooms and a desire for grills.

We stopped by for a rest during our road trip. Great park! Lots of space for kids to run, play frisbee, or throw the football. Playground had a wide variety of fun things for all ages, toddler to big kid. Restrooms were fine, although there was no soap. Still better than a porta potty! Now on our list of good Iowa parks to stop at while traveling I-80.

This was a really nice park. Places to play for kids of all ages. This was a large park that can accommodate a lot of families. There are picnic tables benches some shade at different times of the day. Washrooms were also open at the time we were there. This park area also offers a lot of other things to do the playground is just a small part of it.

Great place for kids. I love that it is enclosed. My little one is on the spectrum and loves to elope. Just being outdoors is great for his attention but to not have to worry about him escaping easily is very nice. There is a wide variety of equipment for children. It would be nice if there were a few grills. But that's not why there's only 4 stars. It would be lovely if there was a soap dispenser in the restrooms.
