What are people saying (AI review summary)? The public pool receives mixed reviews. Many praise the lifeguards, with Kamari specifically highlighted for her excellent interaction with children and overall respectful demeanor; other lifeguards are also described as nice and diligent. The pool is considered great for families due to its large, gradually sloping shallow end. However, significant concerns about cleanliness are frequently mentioned, including reports of severe itching after swimming, unclear/dirty water, a noticeable amount of cleaning powder, and surrounding grass contaminated with animal droppings. There is conflicting feedback regarding lifeguards, with one review describing them as "extremely rude." Facilities are generally basic, with bare locker rooms lacking benches and no shade provided by trees, and the policy against pool toys is noted as making the experience boring for some.

This is a great public pool, especially if you have kids. Huge shallow end at about 1/4 of the total pool area. It slopes very gradually from steps that span the pool's width (great for sitting) to about 4ft at the rope. Gaurds are very nice and diligent. Showers and locker rooms are basic. Cement and grass surround the pool, no trees for shade.

Clear water, pretty clean bottom considering it's an outdoor pool. Lockerroom pretty bare, no benches to put your stuff while you change.

The pool isnt nearly as clear or clean as it shows in the picture. The life extremely rude! Also you cant have no pool tiys in the pool which makes it boring. The grass is filled with duck and geese poop constantly. When you swim to the bottom you can feel the cleaning powder they use. Way to much is being added in there, but the pool still ends up dirty!
