Community, clean and kid-friendly outdoor pool with a diving board plus lanes for lap swimmers.
While the pools at Old Town Pool are generally heated for the comfort of swimmers during its operating season, specific or exact temperature figures are not consistently published or readily available to the public.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool facility is generally praised for being clean, great in theory, and fun for kids, with a clean diving board and staff ensuring swimming ability. However, the overall experience is severely impacted by numerous operational issues. Frequent complaints include random and unannounced closures, often with no explanation, and a consistent lack of adequate staffing. This leads to excessively long wait times (20-45+ minutes), especially on weekends and peak times, and the pool filling up quickly without any remote system (online or phone) to check its status or capacity, resulting in wasted trips for many visitors. An unreliable credit card system is also mentioned. These significant frustrations often lead reviewers to deem the pool not worth the effort or a waste of resources.

Pool is great in theory but I believe it’s either underfunded or understaffed or a mixture of both. It randomly closes and there’s usually a VERY long (45+ min) wait to get it. It fills up extremely quickly on weekends and there is no online system or number you can call to check if they’re full or open. So you could drive all the way there just to be informed that it’s full. Like I said it’s a nice facility and it’s very clean as well but I’ve been let down so many times it’s basically not worth going. Maybe it would be different during the early afternoon on weekdays but I work full time so my options are limited to late afternoons and weekends.
The pool itself is great. The downfall is the issue with credit card system. Sometimes it works then it doesn’t. It lacks staff and maintenance. Random days it’s closed for whatever reason. On a Sunday, I came in at 12:00 when the pool opened and stood in line to get in for 20-25 minutes. Never seen it that bad for the two seasons using this pool.
I’ve waited for 45 mins after the staff told me the pool would open at 4:30pm. At 4:30, the only 2 staff members working today notified everyone that they decided not to open the pool today. No reason! Waist of tax money!
It is very fun for kids. I would recommend it a 5 star pool in Old Town ever
The diving board is so clean and they make sure you know how to swim before going in the deep parts of the pool
