Dilboy Pool in Somerville

Love Dilboy pool....Been coming here since I was a kid and im in my 50s now.....Lots of memories taking the bus to Teele sq for 10 cents with my friends to go swimming on the hottest days to cool off and of when I brought my daughter here when she was little.

Decent pool to swim. I enjoy bringing my snacks but I do wish they would do a bit of cleaning during pool check.

Clean pool- good lifeguards. The locker rooms/bathrooms are not the cleanest…but usable Good for small kids. Also has a 1ft depth pool with sprayer for babies.

It's a nice, large public pool. The low fee is $2 for adults and $1 for children, which is not bad. There is sometimes a line to get in, but showing up early or late seems to help avoid it.

Very nice 50m pool. Water was cold but this was expected as it was a sunny but temperature was cooler. Plenty of lifeguards. No diving allowed. There is a kids pool where the water is always warmer. There are showers but no locker rooms. Other than showers there is only open space where someone can change

Simple. Clean for a public pool. Nice crowd. Good mix of older and younger children, teenagers. Very laid back. Not much shade during the middle of the day. Better go in the morning or late afternoon with small children or be prepared to spend all your time in tne water to keep cool. Ample parking.

This is a best kept secret type of pool! Plenty of parking, $2 entry ($1 for kids), residence of any town can enter, huge pool with tones of space. On the flip side you have to ok with the rules: no running, no diving, no tennis balls, no plastic Frisbee (only foam balls & Frisbee).

I should be writing that this pool is horrible and filthy with surly lifeguards, no parking and terrible people. But that would be selfish, just to keep this secret from getting out. I love this place. There is plenty of parking, the pool is SPOTLESS, the people are nice (mostly parents with kids between 4 and 10) and the lifeguards are friendly. Oh yeah. Admission is $2 ea for adults and $1 ea for kids. I'm from Arlington and forgive me for saying this but I'll never go to the Res again.
