About

Kid-friendly public pool with a diving area and a wading pool, plus chairs and tables.

Specific, consistently published pool temperatures for the Edward P. Thomas Memorial Pool are not readily available or publicly advertised.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this pool are mixed but generally positive. Many praise the cleanliness of the pool and bathrooms, as well as the kind, friendly, and professional staff and lifeguards. Visitors appreciate the availability of adult swim, different pool depths, and reasonable rates. It's often recommended to visit during weekdays or later evenings to avoid large crowds, as weekends can be extremely busy and fill to capacity quickly. Some specific positive experiences include celebrating family events and finding the pool nearly private after rain. However, a significant negative review describes issues such as a lack of lifeguards during adult swim leading to pool closure, inconsistent diving board rules, a perceived lack of available chairs, and dirty water. The concession stand's availability can also vary.

Hadn’t been here in years, but went frequently when my daughter was younger. Went on a Monday and surprisingly there wasn’t anyone there but the life guards. Within an hour or so some more guest showed up. The lifeguards did share it is very packed on the weekends and often fills to capacity within an hour with people lining up 30 minutes before they open. The pool was clean and so were the bathrooms. Every staff member and lifeguard were very kind. Try and go during the week or later in the evening if you want to miss the crowds. I’m sure it might be a different experience when they reach capacity of almost 200 people. There is a concession stand but wasn’t open on the Monday we went. We had packed a lunch so it didn’t effect us. They do have adult swim for 10 min at the end of every hour which was nice. It also gives kids and the lifeguards a break. If you have a younger one that wants to use the diving boards they do require a swim test. They just need to be able to swim from one ladder to the other and back without stopping. If they are able to complete that they give them a bracelet and upload their info in the system for a later visit. Overall great place to visit for a swim!!

Great group all around. Friendly and professional. Pro tip: Come after a rain and you may have an enormous private pool for your group as we had last week.

Nice pool(s), from shallow 2.5' pool, a 4ft pool, and the "diving well". Reasonable rates, both every and concessions. Lots of seating available. Staff are pleasant.

This place is a joke. No lifeguards for adult swim and closed the whole pool instead. The one lifeguard that is here is diving while everyone is watching and said noone else can get in. Any other time WE can’t jump off the diving board during adult swim. Also, never any chairs available and the water is dirty. Very disappointed and irritated. Don’t waste your money
