This place is airy like a ghost town empty devoid of people this swimming pool is open out in the winter time you can see the pigeons drinking from the water you can see little bugs swimming on top of the surface you can see ditto speedy ditto things look like helicopters diving underneath coming up and down green looks like allergy boy I'm glad this place has a gate on it proceed with caution cuz like a ghost town AKA Nintendo type of game but it's in reality right off of Van Buren beware

Kinda hard to judge a pool that's closed. Bout the only thing I can say really! The park around it is great. Lots of room for privacy. Right at a major bus stop. Different charities come thru whenever possible for them to and they drop off food and drinks. Even have clothing available. They try to help daily. Should you want something acquired by you, there's also Churches Chicken & McDonald's both close by. With benches at the park, one can enjoy a picnic while watching their kids play on the jungle gym or play basketball if you bring your own ball.

It's a small park. Taken over by the homeless. But not in a bad way. It's still a nice park. I took a nap on the grass. With a blanket under me and another blanket to cover myself. I slept all day nobody bothered me.
