What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool is a well-maintained, family-friendly "oasis" known for its cleanliness and recent remodel, though one review noted an issue with human hair in the water. It boasts full ADA compliance with a ramp, water wheelchair, and lift, catering to all ages and abilities. Attentive lifeguards enforce strict rules, ensuring a safe environment, complemented by both deep and shallow areas, a diving board, and a kids' splash park. Visitors should note the mandatory 15-minute lifeguard breaks every hour when the pool is cleared. Amenities include large, clean changing rooms with showers. Parking is located behind the Fitzpatrick ice skating rink. While generally not crowded, seating and shade are limited, so bringing chairs is recommended. The pool offers affordable season and day passes with tiered pricing for residents, non-residents, and age groups, including a family of five pass for $20, alongside specific senior and open swim schedules.

Cute pool, reasonably well maintained. Only thing that bothered me was the amount of human hair in the water. Everytime I pulled my hand out of the water it was covered in long strands of globs of hair. Surrounding areas clean. Went on the 4th of July and not crowded. Plenty of life guards and very attentive to behaviors. No horse play, running or inappropriate behaviors allowed. Very family friendly and a great pool for seniors and handicapped. There's a ramp to get disabled folks to get in to the pool. A deep area with a diving board and a shallow area for families with kids. Changing rooms/bathrooms in good shape

Parking for the pool is behind Fitzpatrick ice skating rink. There are large restrooms that include partitioned showers and an open changing area. There isn't much shade to be found outside of the three canopy areas. There are large benches to sit on, but there isn't enough for all the people that visit, so bring your own chairs. They blow the whistle at 0:45 minutes of every hour for the lifeguard breaks, and everyone must exit the pool for 15 minutes. There is a splash park next to the pool that the kids play in during those breaks. You can purchase a family pass for 5 people for $20 for the season.

My new happy place! So clean, and everyone there is so nice. Fully ADA compliant with a water wheelchair, wheelchair lift, and ramp with railings into the pool. A little oasis in the middle of the city.

The pool I very clean and the open area it is $29 for 5 people me and my brother go there all the time and you don’t need a parent as long as you old enough the a splash pad for the little kids with big bathrooms but the not a lot of seating so but the people are nice. It was hard to find the pool at first but it’s on the side of the skating rink and you can pay there.It not crowded 5 stars from my experience.
