What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the pool present a mixed picture. While many praise the facility as a nice, clean, and spacious pool within a fantastic park, offering enjoyable features like a diving board, plunge slide, and splash area for all ages, significant safety concerns are raised by some patrons. Specific issues include lifeguards leaving their posts, lax supervision, an unhelpful staff, and a deep diving area not adequately separated from other swim areas. Conversely, some find the rules overly strict, citing constant whistle-blowing, limited deep-end access, and restrictions on goggles for slides and diving boards. Despite its potential, these safety and rule-related issues lead to varied recommendations.

Awesome park with so many things for kids of all ages. It is very clean with so much room.

For people who are older and don't need supervision I would recommend, I would not trust the life guard supervision to save kids from drowning. While here the life guards blew the whistle ONCE and just left their guard stands with plenty of people still in the pool and were gone for about 10 minutes! Patrons were not given any reason for why they left their stands just to talk to each other? and the pool wasn't cleared? I have worked at pools before and they had the most lax rules here that I've ever seen. I would not trust them to watch my kids, felt overall unsafe. As well as having the deep diving board area not completely closed off? The diving area shares space with people who could swim laps and a spot where anyone could stand and swim, the safety concerns that I have for others who are swimming there while kids are jumping off the diving board. I understand being a teen and not loving your job, but every person working here looked bored and unhelpful and I would not trust how they would perform in any emergency situation. If it weren't for all these safety concerns this pool has amazing potential to be a fantastic pool, even on a really hot weekend we were able to find 3-4 chairs to place our stuff to swim. Again, would be a great pool, but there are a ton of concerns that need to be addressed.

Very very strict. They will blow whistles at almost anything. Sometimes they limit the deep end, and push everyone to the shallower area. You also cannot use goggles on the slides and diving board. Would not recommend.

I wish my town pool was this nice. My older kids and myself greatly enjoyed the diving board and plunge slide. The younger children enjoyed the splash area.

Such a nice swimming pool inside of a fantastic park, if I lived closer I could spend entire days here.
