About
Relaxed, family-friendly recreational spot with a water slide, 2 diving boards and a play area for kids.
Specific, routinely published information regarding the maintained pool temperatures for the Joseph A. Petrarca Memorial Pool is not readily available. As an outdoor community pool, its water temperature is generally unheated and primarily influenced by weather conditions and ambient air temperature.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool generally receives very positive reviews, being described as a great family destination with a large, clean pool and diverse entertainment for all ages, including diving boards, water slides, and kids' play areas. Staff, particularly lifeguards, are frequently praised for being friendly, accommodating, and professional, especially concerning swim lessons and safety. Conveniences like ample parking, clean bathrooms, and reasonably priced concessions are also highlighted. However, there were isolated negative experiences, specifically one user's 'horrifying' encounter on a water slide and another's encounter with a rude concession stand worker that prompted them not to return.

Great pool overall. Diving boards are nice, and there's a cute little play area for the youngins. My only problem, and I mean my ONLY problem concerns the slide, I stopped mid-way through, and I was horrified. Other than that, definitely a go-to as far as pools.

My family really enjoyed the Vandergrift Pool! We went on Labor Day for the final swim day of the season. There was more than enough parking. The children all received free ice cream treats. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The pool is large. The pool was clean. The pool had enough entertainment for all ages. There was a large grass area for tanning. A water slide, 2 diving boards, and a water spray area with different sprinklers. There was a concession food picnic area with snacks, ice cream, fries, burgers, hot dogs, and chicken tenders. Very reasonable prices. The bathroom was very clean and had a good amount of showers. We will definitely return next summer season!

Fantastic local pool. We have done three years of swim lessons here and I’m always impressed. This year my sons group had 9 kids and 5 lifeguards. There were 5 group levels I do believe. All of the staff are great with the kids. My son has a medical issue that makes supervision even more important and upon mentioning it to the head lifeguard the very next morning one of my sons lifeguards came over to discuss it with me to make sure his guards fully understood the situation. So make no mistake that even though the guards are young they take their jobs very seriously while still having a ton of fun. I can’t recommend this place enough. The pool itself is perfect. There’s a kids play area for littles and a walk in ramp for those that don’t want to use ladders. Concessions is very convenient too. Music is always playing and there never seems to be any issues with a nice day by the pool. We will be back!

We enjoyed the pool part but we won't be back due to a very rude female concession stand worker on June 23rd at 3:40pm. We were in line for 10 minutes and behind 3 others. When we got up to the stand the girl went to take our order but after I said what I wanted, she turned around and started getting food for someone else, then she came back up to the counter and another lady walked up beside us and she took their orders first, knowing we hadbeen waiting for her to take our order. I said" we have been in line a lot longer than they have" and the worker said to me "yeah but that's no reason to complain" Umm YES IT IS A REASON TO COMPLAIN! you do not take someone's order that just skips the line. We will stick to LAP from now on.
