Great neighborhood pool. Really large pool with a nice space on the deep end. Kid friendly and adult lap times too. I only wish it was open more of the year. Friendly life guards. Pool deck could be nicer.

I love Ream - the staff and lifeguards are always friendly and attentive. My little one and I always have a good time. Clean, never too crowded, and a generally nice experience. Hidden gem in Mt. Washington - safe and kind people...I wasn't a public pool goer until I found Ream. At times, it's basically a private pool. And who doesn't love Mt. Washington?

I taught my kids to swim at Ream Pool 30 years ago and now I swim laps at noon a few days a week and see my friends. The staff is courteous and professional. The water is clean. A great thing for the neighborhood.

When I was here the swimming pool was closed. I probably wouldn't swim there at that time because it was very cold. I guess some people were into swimming and very cold weather. But I am not. I wouldn't recommend that. But it might be a good park in the summer. I'll have to check it out then.

Overcast today, so almost no one there....perfect. Seeming surplus of guards. Aren't there pools closed due to insufficient guards? Water and deck clean but pool equipment (such as poles with nets) is left strewn about instead of neatly stashed. Lends appearance of carelessness.
