About
Seasonal public pool offering swimming lessons and a playground.
The outdoor pools operated by Portland Parks & Recreation, including Sellwood Pool, are typically heated and maintained at approximately 82 degrees Fahrenheit (28 degrees Celsius).
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This is a highly popular and aesthetically pleasing seasonal public pool in Portland, often praised as the city's prettiest. It caters to a range of ages, offering shallow areas with splash features for toddlers and young swimmers, and a 7ft deep end with a slide accessible after a swim test. Due to its popularity, the pool frequently experiences long lines and can reach capacity, leading to crowded conditions. Amenities include well-equipped changing rooms, partial afternoon shade in the deep end, and a convenient enclosed park/playground next door. Parking is limited to street parking only.

Love this pool! It’s only open seasonally, but I think it’s the prettiest of the Portland public pools!

You have to arrive early and stand in line because the pool maxes out at capacity daily because it’s so fun! Wade in area, then take a swim test of 25 yards😵💫 and you can go in the deep with the slide!

Wow the line was sooooo long on a hot day and my daughter got her hair pulled about 20 min in so we left! But a nice scene otherwise with a playground next door

Nice place, a fairly deep pool, there is even a 7ft depth. Long lines all the time, too many people.

What an awesome pool! It goes from being a few inches deep to 7ft. On the shallow end there are splash features. It is a great pool for toddlers or young swimmers. There is one slide on the deep end. The deep end is partially shaded in the afternoon hours. There is no parking lot, street parking is all that I found. There is a nice enclosed park next to the pool which makes it easy to play while waiting for specific swim times. Last, but not least: the changing rooms are really nice! The woman's side is roomy, with proper changing stalls, plenty of toilets and showers, and quite a few lockers. As of August 2021: masks required inside the building.
