About
Chew Park Pool is a public outdoor swimming facility located in the Grays Ferry neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA. Operated by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, it serves as a community resource for swimming and recreation during the summer months, offering a place for local residents to cool off and enjoy aquatic activities as part of the larger Chew Playground.
As a public outdoor pool in Philadelphia, Chew Park Pool is typically unheated. The water temperature naturally fluctuates with ambient air temperatures and sun exposure during the summer season, providing a refreshing experience rather than a temperature-controlled warm pool. Specific daily temperature readings are not generally provided for unheated public facilities.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this public swimming pool are mixed but lean positive. Many praise the pool as very clean, well-maintained, and very nice. The staff are noted as professional, enforcing rules (like no shoes by the pool and no diving), and there are at least four lifeguards on duty. The facility recently underwent a $2 million renovation. Public access is available from 1-4 pm. However, one review explicitly calls the pool 'Nasty'.
