This is a community pool that works. Clean, with plenty of lifeguards, room to dive and swim laps if you want, and slides and areas for the toddlers. Not the biggest, but well taken care of. They used to have some issues with the older teenagers, but have worked that out. Open from Memorial day to Labor day.

This is a beautiful pool with plenty of slides, water features and diving boards. There is a separate kiddie pool if you have little ones. The only issue with this pool is how packed it gets. Even if you’re first in line to get in, you’re not likely to get a place to sit out of the sun...or anywhere else for that matter. If seating and cabanas were more readily available, it would be infinitely more enjoyable.

The pool doesnt open to the general public until 1pm... its only open for laps... I dont think thats fair because the community center pool is only open for laps as well... I wanted to take my son swimming early in the day before it got too hot, hes only 13 months old. And there is no where for us to go swimming. Thats not cool at all.

Pretty good. Lots of family fun. Should invest in fixing speakers or just not playing music. Listening to static of blown speakers drives me crazy.

Wollman Park is the local water park park. Lots of summer fun. It also features picnic tables plus 2 or 3 covered picnic areas plus lots of green space for walking with friends or your dogs.

The park is good for water balloon fights. The pool has very bad life guards. My friend was drowning in front of a life guard and he just watched as my friend struggled for air so I had to jump in and pull her to the shallow side. After that he told my friend to not drown. Would not recommend this pool for people who cant swim well.

This is a nice park. They have two play areas. One is for ages 5 and under. The other is for older kids.There are nice picnic areas and large baseball fields across from the main park area. They have a equipment children with physical challenges, including a wheelchair swing, which is wonderful!There have been past issues with vandalism. Im not sure of thats still an issue, but the city seems to take care of it pretty quickly. The restrooms havent always been open when Ive been there, but theyve been clean when they are.

Park area is very clean, also have gazebos great for birthdays, nice playground, accessible restrooms and during the summer they opend the pool. But too much crazy people attend this pool. I just recommend the park.

Review №23

Very clean park for families to visit. Large play ground and in the summer months the swimming pool is always a treat in those hot summer months. I recommend this park to anyone with kids or adults who want to be kids. Many covered, stone built open out buildings with grill accommodations and picnic tables to fit the family or business barbeque or get together.

Back when I was little, this place was safe and fun to go to thus I would never want to leave.Now as an adult, I dont feel that the place is as safe nor fun thus I would want to leave after 45 minutes. Although the aquatic center does have unique features that is entertaining, I do not recommend this pool for the autistics, rich people, and adults for the poor administrating and the type of kids who come here.Lets talk about ways the pool is entertaining, they have slides, diving boards, a fountain thingy, a kiddie pool, a snack bar, and most importantly as this pool is my home pool I actually know people that either work here or go here and this basically a hang-out center. Now that Ive got the positive features out of the way lets duscuss about the negatives.Im going to be straight up, lifeguards flat dont care which is honestly sad because I was training with these people a couple of years ago bit thats not the point. The point is that the lifeguards here are very picky and if they dont know you then you ought to behave like never before but if they do know you they tend to be conservative about the rules (Bend dont break type of thing (I hope that made sense)).Their policies were outrageous; for instance, you couldnt bring any pool toys because they really fear that kids would get hit with toys. I can understand if it was something hard like an inflated football but you were not allowed to bring anything. Also this one time I had a waterproof necklace that can carry important stuff with you like cell phones and what not so I wore that to jump off a diving board (with a phone in thats really good) and a lifeguard decides to yell at me to say take it off and she flat said drop it on the ground so I did and I read the rules and it didnt mention neckwear and I told her that. She didnt listen to me and the argument went on for a couple of minutes so I walk out of there and my phone would not work, the drop totally damaged it. I have not filed a lawsuit about it but thinking about that incident makes me want to.The saddest thing of all is the only person to watch your property is yourself so if you are looking forward to come to this pool leave anything nice behind, dont bring any money, phone, or anything you dont want to lose because this park has a history of stuff being stolen with of course the guards not caring. For example, I was with my mom one day and she had a nice sun hat made from bamboo and she left it on her chair because she didnt need it so we come back looking for it and its gone. Wasted a good $25 for that and watch your flip flops too those are the #1 things people steal. Now lets talk about how the pool isnt family friendly.Even though the lifeguards and the facility in of itself is family friendly but the type of people who attended here question it. During the hours, most customers are middle schoolers - high schoolers who wanna be (or actually are) in the ghettos, they make your life miserable, they speak vulgarity more than English, and they disrupt the fun of the pool itself. Multiple times in my life here I got beat up by this type of group for no reason and lifeguards didnt care. I hear at least 1 F bomb when I walk by them. They steal stuff from you when you are away while they load up the diving boards and the slides.Overall, the pool has some good features but the poor lifeguarding and choices people make really kill the fun out of this facility. Plus, Ive been here forever so the pool is pretty stail to me now. If you ever want to go to this pool, read this review essay and thoroughly think to yourself is this pool really worth it?

Large park with plenty of parking. There is a very nice playground. Lots of space for frisbee, games or walking. Covered picnic area with grills provided. Perfect for family get togethers. Then it has the public pool. The pool is nice. Several life guards on duty at all times. It has a beach walk on with sprayers for the kids. Two diving boards and a couple of slides. It also has a kiddie pool. A snack bar and lockers also provided. Very reasonable prices.

I think the staff should be better trained to deal with children of special needs my grandson is none verbal autistic and the life guards was rude and mean instead of trying to understand he couldnt understand them they continued to blow thier whistles and yell at him we tried as best we could to keep him from running and even told them that but they didnt care. Not cool they need to be trained please.

Review №52

Lifeguards play favorites and allow family members to break the rules repeatedly and when called on it target you, and get other lifeguards to do the same until eventually banning you from the park. They need to be a bit more selective about who they hire as lifeguards and enforce the rules on everyone the same. Also need to have a way to make a complaint about lifeguards abusing their perceived power. Very disappointing....would not recommend.

The staff needs training for special needs children. If your staff can’t handle children with special needs then make sure and let people know so we don’t spend money to get dirty looks and snide remarks.
