Love this pool on the last day of the summer when they open it up for dogs! We’ve done this the last two or three summers, and our golden retriever has the best time. From our experience and observations, all the other dogs did too! They even had lifeguards available to keep our pups safe while they went swimming.

Small community pool. Friendly staff and really affordable prices. Not to many shaded areas to sit but clean and very well maintained. Highly recommend for people looking to get away from larger community pools.

Nice little spot for the kids to cool down. Don't have to go too far from home for a chill pool day.

The pool is beautiful, the lifeguards are friendly. It's a great place to take the family. The locker areas are not very clean, but we live in the desert, spiders and bugs like the water too. It would be nice if there was more lounging space around the pool, like chairs or a few tables with umbrellas. The grass is nice. I wish it was open earlier for families. At least mid-mornings... and Friday's would be nice! Over all its pretty awesome.

Drove out twice when they were supposed to be open and closed. On a Saturday with temps around 110. I called 3 times nothing and the web sight has no info. 30 minute drive one way for nothing.
