About

Clean and safe public pool with a kids' section, lifeguards and a concession bar.

Information regarding the specific temperature of the pool(s) at Ed Cothren Pool is not readily available from public sources. As a seasonal outdoor facility, its water temperature typically relies on ambient weather conditions, and it is generally unheated.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool facility receives overwhelmingly positive reviews, consistently praised for its cleanliness, safety, and kid-friendly environment. Visitors highlight the exceptionally attentive and friendly lifeguards and staff, including security, who contribute to a great experience for all ages. Amenities include a small cafe with affordable snacks and drinks (outside food is also permitted), tables with umbrellas, grassy areas for relaxing, and a dedicated shallow pool for children. Admission is affordable at $3 per person, and parking is free. While the overall experience is highly recommended, one minor complaint was the presence of long hair in the pool, with a suggestion for mandatory hair tying. Some also expressed a wish for an indoor pool option for colder seasons.

Fun in the Sun. Clean and safe. Lifeguards on duty. Floaties are allowed but not ones you lie on. Restrooms. Tables with umbrellas. Plenty of grass for sitting in the sun. Small Cafe with snacks and drinks. You can also bring your own food. $3 per person for the pool. Free parking. *Tip* go after 230pm when the summer camps leave if you want more space. Everyone was having fun and following the rules. Looking forward to going back.

I would have to say, this was a great experience! The pool was clean. The staff was so nice and kind, like they actually enjoy their jobs. The life guards were on top of it. The food was delicious! They have a very nice security guard. Like, everything about the experience was great! My boyfriend was helped into the pool, and that made him feel really good. We would definitely go back. I wish they had an indoor pool for the colder seasons. But we will take what we can get. Thank you!

Fun place to bring the grand kids! Life guards do their jobs without being jerks. One complaint and I doubt anyone can fix… lots and lots of long hair in the pool. Sticks to you like jellyfish - pretty gross especially in your face. Maybe they should make pony tails or braids mandatory. Snack bar is affordable too!
