About
The Lee Cultural Center Pool, located at 47 Rudy Robinson Way in Philadelphia, PA, is a seasonal outdoor public swimming facility managed by Philadelphia Parks & Recreation. It serves as a vital community resource, offering free swim lessons, open swim, and adult swim opportunities during the summer months.
As a seasonal outdoor public pool, the Lee Cultural Center Pool is typically unheated. Its water temperature is therefore subject to ambient weather conditions, and specific temperature details are generally not publicly provided.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews consistently describe an extremely negative experience, highlighting overly strict and often unreasonable rules regarding attire, personal items (like a diabetic's lunchbox or chairs), and pool conduct. Staff members are frequently criticized for being rude, disrespectful, having bad attitudes, and short tempers, often kicking patrons out for minor reasons or even after rules are complied with. Reviewers also reported very dirty facilities, including unsanitary locker rooms, bathrooms (smelling of urine), and a dirty pool bottom. The establishment is generally deemed unfriendly, not family-friendly, and unaccommodating to medical conditions.

the poor reviews are probably the most accurate. they refused to let me in with a little lunchbox (i’m diabetic). so i said ok ill leave it in the car. they had no chairs so i tried to bring one and they also said no chairs. ALL While having the most disgusting attitude. then kept telling me to shower when clearly MY HAIR IS WET SO I SHOWERED??? DO NOT go here. they need to find better employees running this place. not friendly or family friendly and will not respect any medical conditions!!!

They’re VERY strict about what to wear, if you have the wrong thing on they won’t even let you put your feet in. The staff are also very rude, bathroom and locker rooms VERY dirty. BOTH staff members had an attitude. First and LAST time going to this pool. The bottom of the pool is very dirty also.

They are way too strict and the employees are rude and don’t listen to you and also have a short temper. They will kick you out for not knowing the rules and when they try to follow them the still kick them out bc it hurt their feelings. You can’t even have fun in the pool or some lady in a blue shirt will kick you out. You can’t even use half the pool because they are too lazy to do their jobs and watch it. Dirty locker rooms and bathrooms smell horrible and the pool is disgustingly and smell like piss. The lady in a blue shirt and glasses should get fired and get mental help for anger problems.

The lady kicked my son out of the pool for having a shirt on; then he took it off, but she still didn’t let him in. Like, how does that make any sense?

The lady at the pool was very rude and disrespectful. I hope nobody goes there.
