About
Happy Hollow Children’s Pool, located in the Rock Creek Park area at 2200 Champlain St NW, Washington, DC, is a popular shallow wading pool designed specifically for young children. It often features playful spray elements, like a mushroom fountain, providing a fun and safe environment for families with toddlers and preschoolers to cool off during the summer months. It's a cherished local spot for community recreation.
Information regarding a specific or maintained temperature for Happy Hollow Children’s Pool is not readily available. As an outdoor children's wading pool, its water temperature typically fluctuates with the ambient weather conditions and is generally not heated to a constant temperature.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool receives mixed reviews. Positives include its convenient location and its general availability of water, with some describing it as an "amazing" and "epic oasis." However, numerous issues are raised: it's noted as small, dirty with leaves and debris, and has a fallen tree. Significant concerns exist regarding service and staff professionalism; the DPR office is reportedly unresponsive, lifeguards were unaware of scheduled classes, and staff behavior was unprofessional (reading, using laptops, sleeping) during lessons, leading to disappointment and calls for better quality and service. Additionally, the pool closed early for the 2022 season.

The DPR office never seems to answer calls so here goes a Google review requesting for better service. The pool is dirty. It's a small, shallow pool for kids but it needs better attention to the debris and leaves. DPR offers classes here, but when we arrived, the lifeguards had no idea what we were talking about. After showing a receipt of the class payment, the main lifeguard said she would teach. It was a weird way to start a class. The class was lax. The lifeguard was not directive and I felt like I was teaching the class. The other lifeguard was reading a book, using his laptop, and sleeping. Not professional. So disappointing for my baby girl. Please help improve the quality and service for other patrons.
