25-meter outdoor pool with water slide in Humboldt Park. Good facilities but safety concerns with unsupervised groups make it better suited for older children.

Nice park, had fun in the pool with the children plus the staff was nice.

šŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best suited for families with older kids who can handle themselves around unsupervised groups of children. The pool offers good facilities with a slide, but serious safety and cleanliness concerns make it less ideal for younger children or those seeking a pristine swimming experience. Consider adult swim times for a better experience.

ā„¹ļø What to Know Before You Go

šŸ’”Avoid sending young children alone - supervision issues with groups of older kids reported
ā°Check pool conditions before entering - debris and cleanliness vary significantly
šŸŽŸļøExpect frequent 15-minute breaks requiring everyone to exit the facility
šŸš—Bring proper swimwear as rules enforcement is inconsistent

ā€œIt's great to have this pool back open in the neighborhood! The pool is big, the slide great, the facility is secure with nice people who have to open the gate for you, and pretty clean, though the bathrooms could get cleaned a bit more frequently. My family really enjoys it. The lifeguards are all good though a somewhat inconsistent with answers to questions and communicating rules. For example, I saw one person told they couldn't swim without proper swimwear but then saw tons of people swimming in shorts and T-shirts that weren't swimwear, I saw babies with sagging swim diapers or no swim diapers, and got conflicting info on what type of floats are allowed. There could be much better clarity and enforcement of rules. A few pieces of feedback: - I understand breaks, but a 15 minute break after every 45 minutes of swimming including requiring everyone to leave the pool building entirely seems strange. Consider a full hour-two before making everyone leave for 15 mins. There always seem plenty of guards to support this. - more open swim times together weekday late afternoons/early evenings like on the weekends. - water is constantly running in a couple showers in the women's changing area, along with a couple water fountains there. It's a waste of water, please fix that. - Family swim isn't clear. It appears to be a parent with 3 or more kids though doesn't seem much different than open swim. Family swim should perhaps be parents and 1 or 2 little kids only.ā€

ā€œIt was okay I went in beginning of July and the time you get to stay in there goes fast . Then some of the kids that go there come in groups and are just rude and make the whole experience stupid. Ehhhh I’d go back but not for family time lol just for the adult swim . Wish it was longerā€
