What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews highlight a newly renovated, Olympic-sized pool with reasonable entrance fees, snacks, and drinks available (cash only, small bills recommended). Positive aspects include great lifeguards who interact with children and new amenities like rides, an exercise area, and drums for kids. However, significant concerns were raised regarding the diving board being too stiff for effective diving, the pool's closure on Sundays which limits weekend access for many, and the need for more frequent skimming. There's also a suggestion for a new trail around the park.

The diving board that they have here is basically a stiff plank to jump off of. I weigh 220 lb and couldn't get any air off of it. Don't know why they didn't just transfer the old ones from the old pool or get something similar cuz I know a lot of kids in this town and adults love to be able to dive, do front/backflips off the diving board which you can't do on this one.... Takes a lot of the fun out of it for some of us....
Why are you closed on Sundays! We wait forever to get the new renovated pool then the majority of the population has to work Monday through Friday so now that only leaves one day to visit the pool. We live in the middle of the desert and it's extremely hot let's close one day out of the week if you have to and get the community in there for the whole weekend to help pay for your renovation.
Great pool, an Olympic sized one at that. Been going here since I was a child, and now I get to bring my children too. The entrance fees are reasonable, but they don't want to break a twenty, so bring small bills. Cash only. They also offer snacks and drinks for purchase. Pool hours as of July 2023 are 1pm-6pm with a late/night swim on Fridays.
willcox pool is being reconstructing The digging was almost over Looks much moor deeper The whole are is fenced I don’t know what do they do with old pool It should be great if they built a new trail all around the park I really like it The new rides , little exercise area , drums 🪘 for the kids 🧒 are really amazing
Pool needs to be skimmed more often, other then that it was great lifeguards interact with my 5 year and play with the children it's awesome!
