Public swimming facility featuring an outdoor pool, a diving well and a hot-weather cooling-off station.
The pools at Jenny Thompson Outdoor Pool are generally heated to a comfortable temperature for patrons throughout the operating season. Specific degree temperatures are not always publicly specified but are maintained for an enjoyable swimming experience.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews indicate a generally positive view of the pool itself, often described as 'great' or 'nice' and suitable for families. However, there are significant criticisms regarding the lifeguards, who are frequently described as overly strict, prone to yelling, and preventing children from enjoying the pool, leading to negative experiences. Operational issues also feature prominently, including inconsistent weekend schedules with unannounced closures for adult lap swim, the water not being temperature-adjusted (often cold), and suggestions for more amenities like umbrellas and increased parking.

The life guards do absolutely no but yell at the kids and then make them get out of the pool for 30mins while they take a “break” and then one came up and told me I needed to be within arms reach of my child…(I wasn’t even a foot away) god forbid they have to actually do their job…
Great pool, some umbrellas would be nice! Great family pool...
It's a nice pool, but I have to say the consistency of the schedules on the weekend leaves something to be desired. 3 times now I've come on either a Saturday or Sunday for the adult lap swim at 11 only to find out they were closed for unannounced reasons (I tried calling the phone line and there was nothing about it)
The lifeguards are horrible they wouldn't let my kids do anything and my kids no longer wants to go here as of last year.
Good pool, more parking at the back. The water of this pool is not temperature adjusted I.e. it could be pretty cold for the swimmer. Nice viewing area for parents/spectators
