An amazing family pool that has been open for 52 years! This is the kind of place that reminds you…read moreof what community is all about. The family that started it donated the land 52 years ago and with the help of volunteers they created something for the neighborhood to use and enjoy. Now the pool is 52, so she's no spring chicken. She has laugh lines and character that show she has been loved. The people that run the pool are all volunteers and it's the kind of place that you can come and make it what you want it to be! The membership is very reasonable and they have a kiddy poi and an awesome diving board. Bring your cooler, but know that they do have a small snack bar to get an ice cream or something else while you are there. Really there is nothing better than a community pool. A place where you can go and know you and your kids will be safe and people look after each other because people make a place and this one is pretty amazing!

This is a good size pool with one slide and a fenced in baby pool. I enjoy going there with my…read moreprincess because it's never crowded and I can always find a spot to chill. They have an ample chairs (you know, for laying out kind) shaded areas, tables and chairs, and picnic tables, separate picnic area in the back as well as a beautiful lawn area. This is not a water park but for a pool, it's got more than the usual amenities. For two bucks I really can't complain at all! It's a bargain! They have a vendor who cooks hot dogs and burgers on the side and I believe he sells sodas, water, ice cream, chips, and other snacks. There are bathrooms and a single shower. They have a ton of life guard watching your every move but you know it's for a good reason ;) They even have two diving boards on the deep side of the pool. Keep in mind, you cannot use any inflatable items in the big pool. I think the floaties are allowed in the baby pool only.

Lots of lounge chairs.

Top quality snack bar, though a bit overpriced. The only major con is the less than modern facilities, though given the pool's historic character I guess its to be expected.

Ginter Park is a quintessential turn of the century upper middle class neighborhood. Originally…read moredeveloped as part of the expansion North along the newly expanded streetcar line, this recreation association acts as a summer cultural and social gathering spot for the residents of Ginter Park and surrounding neighborhoods. The building is a beautiful Arts and Crafts/Shingle Style building that was originally used as a school and meeting house/town hall. It is now the main club house for the GPRA. I personally join the pool each summer as it provides me with an escape from the daily grind. There are three pools. An adult, kids, and wading pool. There are nice gas grills and a raised sun deck. Bathrooms with showers are also provided for pool users. You can even bring a cooler of cold adult beverages! The clubhouse is nicely landscaped and kept up on the outside but lacks central air conditioning and is thus always hot in the summer. It is available for private parties for members. Membership is relatively affordable and rates ban be seen on line. There is also a swim team called the Dolphins. It is both child and adult friendly. Many 20 and 30 something singles hang out by the adult pool and there is a festive party atmosphere on weekends, the pools are even open until 10pm on Saturday. Single membership is a one time fee of $350 and a family membership one time initiation is $580.

Check out the Cove Point playground which is in walking distance if you have young kids. If we go during the week, we typically spend 45-60 minutes at the playground before recreational swim opens at 11am. My kids love this huge playground which has plenty of activities to keep them entertained. You won't be disappointed!

It's about a mile to the swimming hole. Be sure to bring, all the outdoors stuff: bug stray, sun block, etc. Also, you are in nature so, be on the look out for snacks - we came into contact with a black snack, it was harmless but definitely pay attention.

The leader of the pack then tells me there is no Day pass. But as I'm walking away I hear the girls arguing about how I can get a day pass and maybe I knew someone with a membership. Because I was listening I stopped and turned around to ask if I can get a day pass or not and then the girl quickly says no. I felt very odd and I am pretty sure it had something to do with the melanin in my skin though I'm hoping that's not the case. The look on their faces these you know these kids were just something just didn't feel right and I'm disappointed. I left feeling sad. This also gave me the impression that if I would've signed up for a membership I'd be denied it. ‍
