What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool is generally viewed as a good, clean, and fun place, particularly for families and kids, offering amenities such as a kiddie pool, swim lanes, a diving board, and water basketball. While some highlight the amazing, kind, and attentive staff, significant criticism points to lifeguards failing to enforce rules, leading to disruptive behavior. Other issues include the pool's smaller size (not ideal for professional swimmers), expensive day passes, limited payment options (no credit cards or summer passes at the pool), a lack of lockers, and a need for more umbrellas and improved customer service. It is also noted that the pool is closed for kids on Wednesdays.

Good and almost clean, mostly family and kids. Restrooms are ok, but no lockers. Authorities must take more attention for this area, I've heard sometimes annoying people making problem, though I have not seen myself. Not that much big, and obviously not goid for profassional swimers, but enough for most people

It's a little smaller pool but it's still amazing and so much fun to be here. If you get a chance definitely pay a visit to it. The staff are amazing and very kind and attentive. Also there's plenty of space. Just keep in mind they are not open on Wednesdays for kids.

Decent pool, however the life guards did not enforce common pool rules/etiquette. There was a group of about 6 middle school/high school aged boys that were basically able to do what ever they wanted. It was clear that they were regulars. After being there for about 2 hours, the guards called a random break. The group of boys refused to exit the pool. My children are ages 5-8 and myself and other parents had to ask for the life guards to stop people from randomly jumping into the diving well as people were using the only diving board there.

The guest day passes are expensive and you can't use credit cards or purchase summer passes at the pool. Need better customer service and more umbrellas. The pool was very nice otherwise.

Nice quiet pool. Includes kiddie pool, swim lanes, a diving board, and a basketball hoop for water basketball.
