Prices are pretty good! Especially considering you get a lazy river and there’s a water slide. For 5 of us it was only like $44. We had a great time!
I took my son to a birthday party at Stewart Heights Pool and he had a blast! The water slide, lazy river, and splash features kept the kids entertained for hours. The pool was clean, well-staffed, and perfect for a fun summer celebration.
Always enjoy coming here during the summer months for the adult lap swims, even when it’s open for the public hours. The whole location is very clean especially the pool, I always see maintenance crews cleaning and sanitizing tables and chairs the beginning of the day, they always check the chemical levels of the pool, and changing and restrooms are always cleaned. The staff and lifeguards are always friendly, the lifeguards are top notch and do a very good job making sure everyone is safe and are very professional. In general this is a great pool when it’s open for the summer months even when it’s busy, highly recommended for adults for lap swims or an afternoon with the family.
These pools used to be an awesome relief to the summer heat, but now it just seems like price gouging. 2 hour swim windows with having to pay inflated prices again to re-enter. I have never been to pools anywhere else that operate this way. Don't even get me started on how staunch they are on rules. If you do anything besides float, that's a whistle. Let your kid hold your shoulders and float behind you, whistle. Put your feet on the edge of the pool and float, you guessed it, whistle. It has become beyond ridiculous what is considered public pools. They don't even open until the swim time opens, so you wait in line for 20 to sometimes 30 minutes just to get in, therefore cutting into an already ridiculously short swim period. Most of the time understaffed,unable to have both the lazy river and water slide opened at the same time. Tacoma parks doubled the cost of entry and never decided to return to normal operation after COVID, stop making excuses and fix this defunct operation of what used to be a great public resource.
It’s a great place to bring kids on a hot day, I like the 0ft entry for my child who’s learning how to swim. The workers are nice and lifeguards are good at what they do. I’d give it a higher rating but I wish the sessions were longer at least by 1 hour, the first 30mins are spent waiting in line then after swimming for the rest of the hour and a half, you have basically no time to use the locker room and shower if needed before they close for the next session.
