About
The South County Outdoor Pool, located at 12765 S 1125 W #6632, Riverton, UT 84065, USA, is a seasonal public aquatic facility managed by Salt Lake County Parks & Recreation. Operating primarily during the summer months, it offers a large outdoor pool for recreational swimming, lap lanes, and often includes amenities like a shallow area or splash pad suitable for families and children. It serves as a popular community destination for cooling off and enjoying water activities during warm weather.
Specific daily pool temperatures for the South County Outdoor Pool are not consistently published. As a public outdoor facility operating seasonally, the water is typically heated to a comfortable swimming temperature, generally ranging from the low to mid-80s Fahrenheit (around 27-30°C), though this can vary depending on ambient weather conditions and operational settings.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool generally receives high praise for its beautiful and clean facilities, including a clear pool and well-stocked bathrooms (though one review noted them as 'under kept'). Visitors appreciate the expansive grassy areas for relaxation, the allowance of outside snacks and drinks, and a good music playlist suitable for all ages. The lifeguard staff consistently earns commendation for being professional, fun, and engaging, and children particularly enjoy the diving boards. However, common issues include limited shade, making early arrival advisable. The entrance process can be frustrating due to perceived inefficiency and unhelpful staff. The snack shack offers limited options, primarily candy and ice cream, without lunch items. There's also some inconsistency noted regarding pool toy and floatie policies.

We love this pool! I do wish there was more shade. My kids love the diving boards. I love the grassy areas to sit on. I love that they let you bring in snacks and drinks. My kids love the diving boards. There is a lot of grassy area to sit on.

I just moved here, and thought I might try out this pool today, with it being such a gorgeous day. As a former lifeguard, I can’t say enough good about this staff! They are professional, but still fun and lean into the camaraderie of the kids. Tons of grass to lay out a towel and sunbathe on. The music playlist was so good! It was both appropriate for kids and fun for adults. No complaints about this fun facility in town!

Clean and nice facilities. Bathroom is a bit under kept. Only issue is actually getting in. Family getting pool passes for the summer which understandably takes longer. 5 people in the booth, 2 of which wearing cans (listening) to music, one standing around and one with a clipboard for some reason. Tried to use the other line which said open however was told “go back to the other side”. Love waiting while watching office not lifeguards do nothing. Once in the lifeguards do a great job and again the pool is very nice. Beware limited shade and options at the snack shack. Just candy and ice cream. No lunch items.

First time here. Pleasantly surprised! The pool was clear. The bathrooms were well stocked and clean. Come early if you would like some shade.

This is a beautiful pool. VERY disappointed that I see kids coming in with water footballs and toys, but lifeguards wouldn’t allow us to use the small baby floatie to keep our baby shaded from the harsh sun in the shallow end.
