About

Public outdoor pool featuring a waterslide, lap lanes, and a kiddie area, plus swimming lessons.

The water temperature at Creston Pool is consistently maintained at 84 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees Celsius).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This facility generally receives positive feedback, with patrons frequently commending its beauty, cleanliness, and the friendly, attentive staff. The pool is described as having both deep and shallow sections divided by a wall, two slides, and is often not crowded, particularly on a Friday afternoon. Visitors appreciate the comfortable water temperature, ample seating, and a nice drinking fountain perfect for refilling water. Life jackets are available, though pool noodles are not provided. While access is possible via various parking lots, parking can sometimes be an issue. As of 2021, masks were required inside the building, with no reservations needed. Some minor criticisms include conflicting instructions from staff regarding lap swimming, perceived excessive adult swim test policies, and a reviewer's observation about lifeguards having to wear masks in the heat.

The drinking fountain outside is very nice, great spot to refill your water on a long run, especially when it’s hot.

Pool was decent...but no parking and some of the staff told me I could swim in the lap area...then was told to clear out from the guy immediately after that ...Idk it was okay..having grown ups swim the full length of the pool seems silly for some kid drowning? Don't know when that happen but closing off deep end to make adult after adult to swim test is silly

Tucked down next to Powell, it's easiest to access this place from a parking lot on 43rd street or Francis street or Bush street. It isn't a huge pool, but there is a deep and shallow side divided by a wall. There are two slides, one for the shallow side and one for the deep side. There were lots of life guards on duty. At 2-3 on a Friday afternoon, it was not crowded at all! There are lots of chairs on the sidelines for watching parents and a few umbrellas. (Although, pool is in full sun in the afternoon) COVID 2021: masks required inside the building. No reservations needed. Life jackets are available, however you will need to bring your own pool noodles.

Went swimming here today for the first time and all the staff was extremely friendly and nice. The water temp was perfect. I wish they didn’t make the lifeguards wear masks. Seems kinda pointless and harsh on them in the heat. Will definitely be going back this summer.
