Ellisville Edge (Pool) at Bluebird Park

About

Family-friendly recreation center featuring a swimming pool with slides and a splash pad.

The pools at Ellisville Edge Aquatic Center are typically heated to ensure a comfortable experience for guests. While specific temperatures can fluctuate based on conditions and operational guidelines, leisure pools of this nature are generally maintained within a comfortable range, often between 80-84°F (27-29°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This aquatic center is largely praised for its impressive features, including a large free-form pool connected to a lap/diving area (up to 12' deep), two slides (covered and uncovered), and a notably big, shaded splash pad. Reviewers consistently highlight the well-maintained grounds, pleasant atmosphere, and the presence of great, well-staffed lifeguards. A decent snack bar and convenient parking are also noted as positives. However, one significant negative experience involved a terrible front desk, characterized by an overworked, single staff member, long lines, and a restrictive payment policy (only credit cards and cash, no debit cards). Disappointment was also expressed regarding pool closures due to thunder, even without visible lightning or rain, though staff were commended for their friendly approach, apologies, and provision of rain passes during such instances.

This pool is awesome. It’s just one big free form pool connected to a lap/ diving area. Deepest is 12’. It has two slides- covered and uncovered and the biggest shaded splash pad I’ve seen so far in my outings. (I frequent Millennium Park, North Pointe Aquatic, Maryland Heights Aquaport). It’s usually staffed really well and have a decent snack bar (with standard food choices-pretzels, nachos, chicken strips etc). Parking is a little more optimal with regular parking spots close to the entrance. Will definitely swim here again.

Terrible front desk experience. Older gentleman should be inside not outside running the entire shift by himself In this weather while being busy he looked like he was overheated and overworked. The line was very long to get it. Doesn’t take anything besides CREDIT CARDS AND CASH had to leave because I brought my debit card. The water park was shut down because they heard thunder no lightning in sight no rain just heard thunder. I’m generally patient but this was very disappointing

Loved this place but it rained and the pool had to close. However the pool provided me with a rain pass to get in free at another time. I have never had such and friendly experience at a pool. One of the staff even came up to us before we left and heavily apologized for their closing.
