Great pool! I just moved here this summer, and finally understood the DC humidity. I know I definitely need a pool locally, without paying an arm and a leg. For $7 day pass and parking I love it. Very clean and family friendly. But if you're like me who just wants to relax and not be bothered by younger kids, this is a great alternative as well.

All you need is an ID to get in, not that big and chairs run out fast but it’s a great location and experience.

It's a great place to go with the kids. Lots of life vests if you need them. Friendly life guards. Bring DC ID. Regular safety breaks where under 18s need to come out of the water for a rest.

Sean and his team have been incredible this summer. Kind, professional and always on top of everything. Best staff DCPP has had yet!
