I been there about go again this year but they really need clean the bathrooms fix stuff there and let kids use the google cover their nose cause they are afraid they get water up their nose xx
Had a great time would definitely go again. Suggest to anyone with out a car because to 89 bus drops off Infront of pool from Sullivan station.
Great placexperience to bring the kids. Always clean and up to par. Lifeguards are good a Lil to strict but yes there young. Overall between the lifeguards and the cleanliness ND area this pool is great..
Pros: 1. Good swimming pool(claimed to be olympic length). 2. No cost, fairly well maintained for a public swimming pool. 3. Friendly, attentive staff and lifegaurds(4 around the sides of the pool). 4. Family friendly place. Cons: 1. No lockers, not even paid options. 2. Often very busy , many people will hangout and move arbitrarily and disrupt you if you are attempting to swim in lanes. Expected in public pools i guess. 3. Open air pool , and heavy usage means bottom of pool is filled with leaf litter and some other unwanted objects. Though it is frequently cleaned and tested for water quality. 4. Very shallow pool, just about 5 feet in depth. Overall its a really good pool, best to go just after 11:00 AM opening or after 5:00 PM. Those are the times when the pool is least crowded.
Nice long and wide pool, kept pretty clean compared to other in local DCR pools (minimal leaves in water), water is a little cooler than indoor gym pools but it's perfect on 70+ degree days. Very well kept pool and facilities, although the shower water is hot and you can't change it. I hope that gets fixed soon. The hours are not bad and the pool is in the sunny area of Foss park (no trees block the sun to the pool). My new favorite Mass DCR pool for the summer season.
I went to this pool on June 26, 2021, and this place was FILTHY. One section of the pool was COVERED in leaves and the ground has a lot of dirt. This pool was very dirty, and I’m questioning about the chlorine because there was no smell of chlorine. This pool wasn’t like this before. This pool used to be clean and leaf free. But there were leaves, dirt, and dead bugs all around the pool. I don’t think I will be coming back to this pool again.
Foss Park is currently undergoing renovations (as of 7/10/20). But the park still has plenty of shaded benches to sit on. The pool has a 100 person capacity right now, and there is always a line to get in. However, once you are in, you can stay until 6:45 pm when it closes for the day.
Wonderful place to swim and refresh in the hot days. Nice showers before or after swimming, bring your shampoo and conditioner and ready to go. Parking space at the front of the park and side of the streets with permit parking of the city.
