Cherashore Pool - Swimming Pool

About

Cherashore Pool is a public outdoor swimming pool located in the Ol Olney neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA. Operated by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, it serves as a community recreational facility for swimming and aquatic activities, primarily during the summer season.

As a public outdoor pool, Cherashore Pool is generally unheated. Therefore, its water temperature varies naturally with the prevailing ambient air temperature and sun exposure, and specific temperature data is not typically provided or consistently maintained.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the pool are mixed. Several patrons reported negative experiences, citing issues such as inattentive lifeguards (e.g., on phones, playing with kids) and a lack of enforcement regarding rowdy children and pool rules. One review also mentioned a disruptive 'helicopter lady' who negatively impacted the atmosphere. Conversely, other reviewers praised the lifeguards and managers as kind and attentive, with some families regularly frequenting the pool and enjoying their visits.

All good here, except there is a helicopter lady there not letting kids be kids and nagging the life guards and the patrons the whole time. She ruins the fun for everybody at the pool.

It was ok, they didn’t allow me to put the float in the pool for the baby and the kids were a little rowdy but I would go with my family again.

I was at this pool today..no life guards sitting in their chairs..one was playing in the pool with a group of kids, no regards to other swimmers..the female life guard was sitting at the edge of the pool on her phone. The pool staff was not correcting the guards or the kids, one was on his phone the entire time I was there. However I noticed that Ms Emily was not there. What a difference😔
