About

The Solvay Swimming Pool, located at 601 Gertrude Ave in Syracuse, NY, is a public recreational facility managed by the Town of Geddes Parks & Recreation. It serves as a community hub, offering swimming lessons, open swim sessions, and various aquatic programs for residents of Solvay, Geddes, and the surrounding areas.

Specific information regarding the temperature of the pool(s) at Solvay Swimming Pool is not readily available in public sources. Public recreational pools are typically maintained at a comfortable temperature for general use, but an exact figure is not published.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this facility are mixed. While some visitors had a fun time, found it uncrowded, and praised the staff, the pool itself was a major point of criticism. Multiple reviews described the pool as unsanitary, containing hair, skin flakes, bugs, boogers, or old brown water, leading to concerns about maintenance or its operational status. Other issues noted include creepy/broken swings and offensive slurs found on the pool building's back door, though much of the other art and graffiti was appreciated.

The pool was full of hair, skin flakes, bugs, boogers/snot. I had to leave, I don’t think the filter system is working, or enough maintenance in the pool. It’s unfortunate cause I like the idea of the community pool. If these issues get fixed. I would gladly change to 5 star instead of 1 star.

went with a friend and we were sad it was closed. the swings were low-key creepy and broken and the art was really cool. (except for the slurs on the back door of the pool building. i'm not posting what that looked like for obvious reasons.) (most of) the graffiti was great and the pool had old brown water in the far end of the deep end. i wonder how long the pools been closed for a disclaimer, we did none of the art that was there
