What are people saying (AI review summary)? Reviews for this community pool are mixed, highlighting both positive aspects and serious safety concerns. Many describe it as a friendly, nice, and great community pool, often run by dedicated volunteers. Facilities typically include a 25-meter pool, a shallow end, and a baby pool, with some reviewers mentioning a diving well. It often features a large grassy area, free parking, and a convenient location near a shopping center. The food court is well-regarded with reasonable prices and allows outside food and drink. Memberships are available, and the pool historically hosted swim teams and social events. However, a significant negative point is severe lifeguard inattentiveness and a lack of enforcement for safety rules, with reports of children going under unnoticed and unsafe play. One reviewer also expressed concerns about high overall pricing, the lack of monthly membership options, and a perceived absence of additional amenities like a diving board (which contradicts other accounts of a diving well).

Lifeguards do not pay attention! Have witnessed several children actually "go under" and had to alert the guards...if they are even there! Recently saw a period of general swim (not adults only swim) and there were NO lifeguards for over 15 minutes until someone went and said something at the check in desk. Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!!! Also, kids should not be playing under the diving board, sitting on ladders, or hanging on the ropes! These are basic safety issues that need to be enforced!

The pool and food court were good. Pool was pretty clean. The prices were very reasonable and we were allowed to bring in outside food and drink. The price is HIGH and they do not allow monthly membership. Pool has no extras like a diving board, Rockwall, ball hoop, or slide. If you are military it is better to just drive to JBAB.

A friendly, neighborhood pool that has successfully opened during the pandemic. Memberships are available. The pool offers a 25-meter length pool, with a shallow end for smaller children, a diving well, and a baby pool. Under more normal times, the pool sponsors a swim team, holds social events, and operates a snack bar.

Great community pool. It's run by volunteers who love their community and try to make it better. Stay local!
