About

Large swimming pool with slides that offers a cool place to swim.

Specific information regarding the maintained temperature of Turner Pool is not readily available in public records. As an outdoor, seasonal pool, its water temperature is generally subject to ambient weather conditions during its operating season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool is highly regarded, particularly for families with children, due to its popular slides and, for Summer 2023, free admission. Reviewers appreciate the various pool features, including a shallow end and baby pool, along with delicious food and a well-staffed lifeguard presence, making it a great place to unwind and beat the heat. However, common criticisms include the limited operating hours, with suggestions for earlier and later openings for families and lap swimming, and the perceived excessive 15-minute adult swim breaks. Some users also noted the inconvenience of unpredictable closures despite listed operating hours.

Great base pool. The 4 slides are awesome for the kids. Great for unwinding after a full day of driving. Billeting is right next door and within walking distance.

Well staffed with lifeguards, the food is delicious, and kids love the slides. Went with our two Granddaughters, and they enjoyed the afternoon.

Great pool. I love that one end of the big pool is very shallow and that there is a baby pool. The slides are great! The operating hours leave much to be desired. It would be much more useful to me if it were open earlier since I have young kids I would like to keep out of the mid day sun. It would also be great if the pool were open earlier and later so that I could do lap swimming in the early morning or late evening. The adult swim time of 15 minutes at the end of every hour also seems excessive. It's still, overall, a great place to beat the heat!

Generally you have to buy a pool pass or pay $3/person to use the pool. This year, Summer 2023, the pool has free admission. My kids love coming here to swim. The only thing that can be confusing is sometimes the pool is closed even when the hours on Google say they are open. This can be inconvienent if you are drivng from South Shreveport or somewhere outside of the Bossier area.
