About

Public swimming pool that's good for kids.

Specific pool temperatures for the Bacon Aquatic Center are not readily available in public domain information. Aquatic centers typically maintain their pools at comfortable temperatures, often ranging from 78-84°F (25-29°C), especially for recreational use.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool is highly regarded as a family-friendly destination, offering three slides (including one for small children) and two diving boards. Reviewers consistently praise its cleanliness, spaciousness, and large changing rooms. Amenities like a snack bar (though food can be overpriced) and good shade are appreciated, as are the attentive lifeguards. While some noted minor issues like bugs in the water and a need for more lounge chairs, the overall sentiment is very positive, with many finding the entrance fee affordable (especially for locals or with family passes) and appreciating its availability even during the pandemic.

I love this pool, cherokee is my home town, the price to get in is pretty cheap and it’s clean, but there are some bugs in the water, food a bit overpriced, but all together, amazing

Clean, lots of room for kids. Fun for all ages. Large changing rooms. Need more lounge chairs though for sure. Their family passes are a good deal for parents with kids who spend most of their summers at the pool.

Great place to take the kids swimming. Great shade if you need it. The lifeguards are on the ball and don't mess around. Great snack shack as well. The bathrooms and changing area was clean.

Even during this pandemic they have been open for our kids to enjoy cooling off during these hot days. Very grateful for our small town and access to having some nice time outside.
