About

Large facility features lap lanes, diving boards and a fun lazy river for tubes and floats.

The pools at the Mesa Aquatic Complex are generally heated to ensure comfortable swimming conditions, especially the lap pool which is open year-round. While specific daily temperatures are not always publicly listed, such public recreational facilities typically maintain water temperatures in a comfortable range for general use and lessons, often in the low to mid-80s Fahrenheit (approximately 27-29°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Mesa Aquatic Complex is highly praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and attentive lifeguards, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all ages. Visitors appreciate the variety of amenities, including a splash pad, big slide, lap lanes, deep swimming area, and a popular lazy river. Parking is easy, and the entrance fee is considered reasonable, making it an affordable summer destination that isn't usually overcrowded and plays good music. However, some common complaints include a funky smell from the gutters and the inconvenience of mandatory hourly pool evacuations for lifeguard drills. There is also significant dissatisfaction with the limited weekend operating hours, with the pool being closed on Sundays.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mesa Aquatic Complex is one of the best public pools in the area. The facility is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of space for families, swimmers, and anyone just looking to cool off. I went for open swim and the water was perfect. Lifeguards were attentive and everything felt safe. There’s a splash pad for younger kids, a big slide, and lap lanes for serious swimmers. Parking was easy and the entrance fee was reasonable. Great place to spend a few hours, especially during the summer. I’ll definitely be back.

It is a beautiful facility. Bathrooms are clean pool is clean. The gutters around the edge have a funky smell coming from them. We liked the lazy river and deep swimming area. Every hour, the guards have a drill or cool off period and the pool must be evacuated. This can be unfortunate if you are on the lazy river and no where near where you left your shoes..hot feet hot feet

I enjoy swimming here with my 7 year old daughter. Love the lazy river, my complaint is why are weekend hours so terrible? I work during the week, be open more on weekends! 4 hours on Saturday and closed on Sunday is ridiculous!

Clean and an affordable place to swim all summer. The life guards are professional and friendly and it’s not too crowded most days. Also they play great variety of music!
