Glenn Hall Pool

About

Glenn Hall Pool, located at 5201 Carlson Dr, Sacramento, CA, is a popular community aquatic facility operated by the City of Sacramento Parks and Recreation. Primarily a seasonal outdoor pool, it offers recreational swimming, lap swimming opportunities, and a variety of swim lessons for all ages during the summer months. The facility typically includes a main pool and often a shallower area suitable for younger children, serving as a key recreational spot for residents in the East Sacramento area.

Specific, publicly advertised daily pool temperatures for Glenn Hall Pool are not readily available online. However, as a public recreational facility, the pool water is generally maintained within comfortable and safe ranges, typically between 78-82°F (25.5-27.8°C) for recreational swimming during its operating season, consistent with standard public pool practices.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews present conflicting information regarding pool hours and admission rates, which are difficult to find online. Some report the pool is closed Mondays and Fridays, open Tuesday-Thursday from 1 PM to 5 PM, with admission at $5 for adults and $2 for children. Other accounts mention updated hours with daily rates of $4 for adults and $2 for children, except on Mondays when it's $2 per person. Payment is strictly cash only, with no bills over $20 accepted. The water is noted as cold. While facilities are generally described as clean and well-cared for, the unisex bathrooms have cleanliness issues. Staff impressions vary, with some describing them as nice and awesome, particularly for summer '25 and '26, while others found lifeguards to be uptight or giving a 'weird vibe.' Weekdays are often not crowded, and the pool is considered refreshing on hot days. A suggestion for senior passes was also made.

The pool is CLOSED on Mondays and Fridays. Open on Tuesday through Thursday from 1pm to 5pm. Many weekdays it is not crowded. Staff are nice bunch of young adults. Admission for adults, even to watch your kid, is $5 and $2 for kids.

It was difficult to figure out hours/rates/payment options anywhere online. These are the updated hours as of June 2021. It’s $4 an adult/ $2 a child every day except for Monday which is $2 per person. Also CASH ONLY! And nothing over $20 bills. Lifeguards are rather uptight but it’s probably because it’s a city pool so they have strict requirements. Sort of a weird vibe overall from the staff, but if you can ignore it the pool feels very refreshing on hot days!

We had a great time. Facilities were clean and well cared for. The unisex bathrooms... not working so well. Some folks have trouble with their aim, and ladies suffer the consequences of that.
