About

Seasonal community pool, with a shallow wading area and slides, plus friendly staff.

Specific, consistently published temperature information for Rosedale Pool is generally not available. As a public outdoor swimming facility, its water temperature is typically ambient or minimally heated to a comfortable level, primarily for seasonal use during the warmer summer months.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for the pool are mixed, highlighting both positive and significant negative aspects. Many visitors find the pool fun and baby-friendly, appreciating its shallow areas and the helpfulness of the staff who are present. However, there are widespread and consistent complaints about frequent closures of attractions like slides and the infant pool, often attributed to severe understaffing. Maintenance issues, including cleanliness and finding debris, are also noted. Some users reported poor customer service, including unfriendly staff and questionable capacity management, leading to people being turned away despite the pool appearing not full.

A fine DC public pool. Probably on par with most of the others - not enough lifeguards, not enough chairs, and not everything works all the time. But fun nonetheless.

I've been going to this pool since 2020 I still go there till this day it's a lot of fun and even if there is a small chance the slide opens it's still a fun place to go.

Awful and Needs Maintenance - all the slides were closed. The infant pool was closed. No reasons provided. The main pool needs major maintenance. I found a 4 inch screw driver at the bottom of the shallow end. It’s dirty. Staff is unfriendly at best. I do not know where my taxes go but it’s not to upkeep.

I wish I could give this place no stars. They have people outside in scorching heat saying over capacity and it was no more than 40 people on the pool. Horrible customer service!!!!!!!

We had such a fun summer at this pool almost every day fir the past month! Very baby-friendly, as the pool has a sloped entrance and a side that’s very shallow, which was so needed since the baby pool was closed most of the season. The staff is so wonderful. The only reason I don’t give 5 stars is because it’s been understaffed - so the features are almost always turned off (the slides, baby pool, half of the pool, all out for every 15 mins of the hour instead of adult swim), but the staff that are there are always awesome. If dc gov could get this place more staffed so that the features could be opened, and we could have adult swim instead of all out, that would make it so much more fun!
