Very nice pool. Clean and the pool is in good shape. I like the concession stand. The downsides are the steep hill to get to the pool, and for us, the adult swim every hour. Adult swim might have benefits for giving parents of small kids a chance to swim alone for a few minutes, but it is not good for older high school kids. I have two kids in high school. They have jobs and have their driver's license. They can drive everywhere by themselves. They have a boss to report to, they have small bills that they're responsible for for themselves. But every 45 minutes they have to get out of the pool with the little kids and go sit in the grass for 15 minutes for adult swim. These older teens are working and driving and taking college classes but they have to go sit in the grass with the little 6 and 7 year olds every 45 minutes. It's a waste of time for these teens who are almost adults. And this explains why I'm not seeing a lot of older teens there. Why go to a pool for 2 hours to waste 30 minutes sitting in the grass and not swimming? They aren't even allowed on the concrete by the pool during that time. I regret joining this pool for this single reason. I suggest not having adult swim

Decent pool, decent people. Very clean. However, it needs to start selling fresh hot basic food. It needs an easier way for older people to get on without having to call. I think they should build a ramp to have easier access for older ppl.

We have been members for about 15 years now. Our children love the challenge of the high and low dives and the slide and basketball net are fun. The snack shop is reasonably priced and in addition to tetherball and other games, offers activities during adult swim (10 minutes each hour normally). This pool has a separate kiddie pool and two gazebos, one with a grill for parties. There is a cheerful bed of annuals along the building that houses the snack shack, office and bathrooms. The bathrooms are fairly clean and there are drinking fountains. The pool lifeguards are vigilant about safety but reasonable about pool toys and rafts. Members age 10-12 must take a rigorous swim test to be at the pool without an adult. 13 and older can come to the pool unaccompanied. Guests are $5. They have a variety of member options for babysitters, out of town guests, etc. This pool has a swim team and offers swim lessons. They also host special events like a moonlight night swim and an end of the year dog swim - see their website for more detail.

Nice local pool location. Grounds are clean and staff, high school kids, are seemingly happy to be working there. Office run by kids can be a little chaotic. Several voicemails for information, classes went unreturned. Likely better to do in person. Small concession stand and pavilion.
