★★★★★Featured review by Joy Dewing

Sparkling clean pool and deck, clean restrooms and showers. Very well-maintained. Two diving boards and a water slide. Friendly and helpful staff and excellent lifeguards. Rules are enforced and lifeguards are attentive and disciplined. There are benches but if you want to lounge, bring chairs. No food allowed. Just a very well-run, pleasant community pool experience. Cost $1 for kids and $1.50 for adults.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families seeking an affordable community pool experience with good safety standards and clean facilities. Ideal for families with children who want diving boards and water slides at budget prices. Avoid busy weekends and hot days when overcrowding becomes an issue.

“8/31/25 Sunday. 95f hot today. Went there with my grandson around 2:45pm. They open only right side for people. Lots of people in water. No possible swimming. What they don't open left side for safety. People kick accidently and splash accidently. Staffs didn't care Kids jump in the water carelessly. Management is terrible. Inside office staffs look like talking and eating foods. The table look messy with foods left... The should have opened the other side also to protect bumping. Smell like and taste salty due to too manly people.. please make more attention for serving people to enjoy public swimming. Also shower and bathroom space are not managed proper cleaning. Bad smell from toilet side.”
