About

Clean, family-run venue offering diving boards and water slides along with 50m and Olympic-sized pools.

Specific, regularly published pool temperatures for Community Park Pool are not readily available. As an outdoor, seasonal facility, the water temperatures typically adjust to ambient weather conditions, generally providing a comfortable swimming experience during the summer operating months.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This public swimming pool receives mixed reviews. Many patrons highly praise its excellent and clean facilities, which include an Olympic-length pool, a kiddie pool, a diving well with various boards and a slide, and a sloped entry ideal for all swimmers. Positive feedback also highlights the shaded areas, family-friendly pricing for frequent visits, available lessons and swim/dive teams, and the presence of numerous lifeguards. However, significant criticism is directed at the pool's rules, which some find overly strict or unfair (e.g., guest restrictions, perceived bias towards seniors over families, confusing pass requirements for single visits, and strict diaper policies). The staff, including management and snack bar employees, are frequently described as rude, immature, or uncaring, and the snack bar's quality is often deemed poor.

I love this place for my family. Very clean and has shaded areas. Also, offer lessons and swim/dive team opportunities.

This is the best public swimming pool I've ever been to. There is an entrance or membership fee, it's not free, but family price is quite reasonable if you go often. We love it and have gone for many years. There's an engaging kiddie pool, olympic length pool, a sloped area for gradual entry to the water (great for new swimmers and people with disabilities), and a diving well with standard diving boards, a high dive, and a big slide. There are chairs for sitting poolside, though when it's packed you might want to bring your own. There's a snack bar, and also a shaded area with picnic tables where you can host a party. There are several nice trees to sit under. Plenty of lifeguards around. It's the best! Note: little ones who aren't yet potty trained need plastic pants over their swim diapers, and they are strict - if any accidents they will close the pool.

Terrible rules that benefit seniors over normal families with kids, seasonal obnoxious students and immature management - hi, Matt M. No guests, ok, my dad cannot come with us. No kids - ok, what do we do with our kids? As a taxpayer I will make everything it will change
