About
Lively public pool offering 2 slides and a diving board, as well as kids' activities.
Specific, publicly advertised pool temperatures for Cressona Pool are generally not available. Community pools typically operate at ambient outdoor temperatures, which can fluctuate based on weather conditions. Unless specifically noted for special events or heated sections, it's presumed to be unheated and will reflect natural water temperatures for outdoor swimming.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool receives mixed reviews. Positive aspects include a very clean pool, attentive staff, reasonable entry and food/drink prices, and monthly family-friendly activities like movie nights. Many find the atmosphere relaxing, with well-trained and non-judgmental lifeguards, and fun amenities for kids such as slides and a diving board. However, there are significant drawbacks. A major concern is food safety, with one report of suspected dead ants in a concession stand snack and poor staff response. Safety issues include an 'extremely slippery' baby pool that caused a broken toe, and lifeguards prohibiting US Coast Guard approved puddle jumpers, creating unsafe conditions for young children. There were also instances of unprofessional lifeguard behavior (expressing dislike for children) and occasional bullying among older teens. Horse flies were also noted as a nuisance.

Very clean pool! Staff takes good care of the pools and it's occupants. Food and drink are available here but also packed lunches/coolers are allowed. They offer great activities monthly for kids/families of all ages. Activities included movie nights at the pool and themed weekend parties! Entry prices for the pool are not bad and neither are the prices for food and drinks.

Do NOT buy any snacks at the concession stand. I bought a small bag of cheezits and found a bunch of black debris at the bottom of my bag and knew it couldn’t have been pepper since the cheezits did not taste spicy... so knew it had to be dead ants. I am so glad I threw the rest of the bag out as soon as I came across this FOOD VIOLATION. Please pass the word around to others who plan on attending this pool so they know NOT to buy any snacks from this place. Probably very outdated food that the employees failed to investigate! Very bad on their parts. I brought it up to the teenage girl who was working the concession stand and only got an “okay” in response, which doesn’t sound very promising!

This pool was definitely strange. For some reason the lifeguards would not allow puddle jumpers. Last time I checked they are US Coast guard approved (I'll post a picture). Also the baby pool is SO EXTREMELY slippery. My friend stepped in, immediately slipped, and broke her toe! To top it all off, one of the main lifeguards was checking the ph levels at the side of the the pool, she got splashed, accidentally, by a child who was playing. Her response was "ugh, I HATE kids" Overall it just wasn't a good experience. My daughter who is 3 couldn't wear her us coast guard approved puddle jumper, so it was actually pretty unsafe for her (she refused to put on the huge lake style life vests they offer, and I don't blame her) Only good thing was the popcorn.

Food is cheap being pool food, pool isn't overly packed usually, lifeguards don't seem judgemental. Overall a good experience every time we go besides the horse flies

Life Guards are very well trained...relaxing atmosphere for the adults...fun for the kids with 2 slides and a diving board...only issue is older teens at pool like to bully younger teens, not all, just one!!!
