About
Public area for cooling off in multiple pools and sprinklers, plus a park and basketball court.
Specific pool temperatures for the Dennis F. Shine Jr. Swim Pool are not consistently published. As an outdoor public facility, its water temperature naturally fluctuates with ambient weather conditions and is generally not heated to a fixed degree, aiming instead for comfortable swimming temperatures during its operating season.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool receives mixed reviews. Many patrons find it a great, amazing, and fun place, with particular praise for the "absolutely amazing" staff who teach swimming lessons, noting their kindness and effective techniques. However, several issues were reported, including long wait times, frequent and unexpected closures (due to "pool checks" or safety concerns like glass in the pool), and a strict "no pool noodles" policy. A serious safety concern was also highlighted regarding lifeguards allegedly failing to intervene during an attempted drowning incident. Some long-time visitors also expressed nostalgia for a removed diving board.

I Live on Providence Street I’ve been going to this school since I was a little girl. I miss the diving board, but it’s still a great pool but on a day like today how hot it is we had to wait in line for like an hour finally get in and they blew the whistle for pool check somebody dropped something in it

It was good but a bit weird. I go here often and its fine,Fun, and a bit cool but it doesn't allowed pool noodles. One time some girls tried to drown me and the lifeguards did nothing not a whistle nothing. Today I tried to go with my friend but a kind lady said its closed, I asked why, She said there was glass in the pool. How does glass get into a pool? I was a bit concerned. Anyways its meh.

My kids took swimming lessons there, and the staff is absolutely amazing. They are kind and use different techniques to get all the kids involved in swimming. My kindergartener wasn't really participating in the swim classes the first couple of days, but on the third day, they tried something new that got him really excited. I recommend this place for swimming classes. I have not had a chance to use it with the rest of the public, so I can't speak on that aspect.
