Specific, consistently published pool temperatures for Fun Forest Pool are generally not available. As a seasonal outdoor community pool in Tyler, TX, its water temperature is typically ambient and unheated, fluctuating with the prevailing weather conditions during its operational summer season.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews paint a mixed picture of the pool. Positively, it's described as a fun and affordable place for kids, featuring a big splash pad, exciting water slides with vigilant lifeguards, and generally clean, friendly facilities. Many visitors enjoyed their time and found it refreshing. However, significant criticisms include a lack of basic amenities like toilet paper in restrooms, insufficient shade and seating areas, and a major issue with capacity limits, leading to long waits and visitors being turned away. Some also noted that the updated facility is smaller than its previous version and offered a warning about potential 'vinyl burn' on the slides if not ridden carefully.

Nice place to take the kids. Big splash pad area and the pool has 2 slides with a life guard in the pool. There are other lifeguards on duty as well. First time going there. My kids had fun. I would definitely go again. I looked online to get the times they're open. No issues for me but it did seem like they were still letting people in at 5:45 although it closes at 6. Hopefully they were informed. The price is right at $2 per person. I went during their evening time 3:30-6 p.m. I've since been back and asked them to put toilet paper in the women's restroom. They did not. 2 of the 3 stalls had no paper. Lowered my rating from 4 to 3 stars based on this.

The water slides you gotta adult the curly water slides. Make yourself into a tight ball after you swing your way in. Just watch your knees in the final turn, you really pick up speed here. If careless, you will receive the vinyl burn of your life. Still totally worth it. It spits you out quicker than Street Girl Sally spitting, nevermind. Do it! You won't regret it. 😂

Back in the day there was a much bigger pool plus an area for little kids. The new updated version is fine but could've been better. Something that was an issue back then was not enough shade areas, this sadly continues with there being limited tables and umbrellas. Overall a good place for what it's worth.

One of the absolute worst experiences that I have ever had at a city pool. We waited in line for 30 minutes to find out that they were over capacity with no more 60 visitors. This is utterly embarrassing for a city pool that cannot even handle the visitors that show up. Do better…..
