What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool generally receives positive feedback for its cleanliness, well-maintained water, and family-friendly, quiet atmosphere. Patrons appreciate the pool's size, the availability of benches, and the effectiveness of adult swim times. While some reviews praise lifeguards for their attentiveness and strict enforcement of safety rules, other experiences note significant concerns regarding lifeguard supervision, including texting, personal calls, and allowing their own children to cause issues, leading to parents needing to intervene.

The pool's location within the Asbury arboretum is considered a positive, offering access to various other recreational facilities.

The trained lifeguards are very attentive to the children swimming in the pool. They reinforce the safety policy (no jumping, running, or play fighting) to ensure everyone is protected from injuries. The pool is consistently kept clean and well-maintained. Additionally, the staff conducts periodic cleanings throughout the day, both before and during swim activities. The atmosphere is quiet and family-friendly!

Love the size of the pool. They have benches so you can bring a bag in to put your things down. I went during the adult swim time (6-7) and it was completely empty

My family and I had a good time yesterday. We almost had them whole pool to ourselves. However, as the day went on and more children was coming into the water, ai noticed one life guard texting on the phone instead of watching the pool, and another life guard was literally having a conversation with the phone up to her ear. It became a time my sister got out of the pool to find out who the head life guard was due to a dispute going on in the pool at the 3 ft section of the pool. It took a parent to get up and resolve the issue. Come to find out two of the children causing an issue we're the head life guards. Not to mention there was a life guard less than six feet away. The pool itself is a nice size and cold. The grounds up keep can be better.

The Asbury Pool is located at the perfect place for the family, the Asbury arboretum in Germantown, a huge park with picnic areas, tennis courts with lights, basketball courts and area to walk and play with your pets. There's usually a life guard on location when the pool is open and a building next to the pool with restrooms plus mobile toilet facilities. However, the restroom and changing areas are not always clean and there's no designated place to change wet clothes, so it's really for the local in the neighborhood.
