About
Public swimming pool that's good for kids.
The pools at Vista Terrace Aquatic Park are heated. While a specific, consistently published temperature for this exact facility is not readily available, public aquatic facilities in San Diego are generally maintained at comfortable swimming temperatures, often around 80-82°F (approximately 26-28°C) for recreational and lap swimming.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool receives mixed reviews, with its size and cleanliness generally praised, featuring a 9 ft deep end and well-conserved facilities. It's noted for offering various lessons and sometimes having a nearby playground. However, several downsides are frequently mentioned: outdated surroundings and changing rooms, a lack of shade in bleacher areas, and very limited or unusual operating hours, including being closed on weekends. Staff experiences are inconsistent; some reviewers report good interactions, while others strongly criticize rude employees and lifeguards who frequently raise their voices at visitors, particularly children.

Nice pool! Operation hours are very narrow, weekend's closed, but I was lucky to visit on Friday. Very well conserved facility. Lifesavers all time looking at me. Showers are inside dressing room, not in the outside like other pools around.

It can get quite busy at this pool. Lots of lessons for different ages. I've had good experience with the staff. The only downside is pool surroundings are outdated. There is no shade in the bleachers, making it very unpleasant being there in the scorching sun.

Nice big pool with a 9 ft deep end. Not crowded at all. Old crummy changing rooms but adequate. Playground/picnic area right next to the pool. Shaded sitting area (a few rows of bleachers) but nothing close to the pool.

Based on my reviews I have gone 3 times here & every time I step in to pay the employees are rude for no reason. Also, the lifeguards are the reason why I stopped going simply because they are ALWAYS raising their voices to anybody especially kids. If you go here you will notice
