This is hands down the best neighborhood pool & recreation complex you'll find Richmond/Henrico!…read moreThe woodsy setting is so tranquil and beautiful. A social summer gathering spot that is kid friendly, unpretentious, and located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood setting. Best feature is the swimming pools (there are four!!) which are kept impeccably clean, as is the rest of the nicely landscaped property. Pools are open from late May through (September- Labor Day). The club has really stepped up its game with the 2018 expansion of the lap pool to 8 lanes and renovating bleacher seating. Snack bar is good, but cash only. Food is as better than you would expect for a poolside snack bar, and super convenient poolside. Lifeguards are attentive & on duty at all times, which is reassuring. They are also very courteous and friendly. The guards manning the diving pool even engage the kids in an entertaining game called "categories" as they jump off the board. Kids love it. There are 9 lighted tennis courts to choose from. All are in spectacular shape. I particularly like courts 8 & 9, which are nestled inside the woods, and great for shade if you catch at the right time. Though the bathrooms/showers/changing rooms are dated, they are kept very tidy. Amenities are numerous: 1. 8 lane lap Pool, with diving blocks 2. Family pool, with two tunnel slides 3. Diving pool, with two boards 4. Kiddie pool for the under 5 set 5. Plenty of lounges, tables & chairs (with umbrellas) 6. Snack Bar (cash only) 7. 9 tennis courts (two nestled in the woods) - and awesome tennis instructors!! Open year round. 8. Awesome swim & dive teams 9. Free parking 10. Locker rooms with showers 11. Outdoor Showers 12. Poolside playground 13. Basketball courts 14. Covered picnic table / BBQ area 15. Sports Field (soccer, etc) 16. Numerous fun events for kids & adults This is such a wonderful, family friendly recreation association and it has become our home away from home in the summertime. A great way to escape the daily grind, and the summer heat!

After being recommended this pool by a lifeguard at Hotchkiss down the street, we decided to give…read moreit a try, and honestly, I am SO glad we did! What started as a spontaneous decision to get in the car ( because Hotchkiss was not it ) and try somewhere else has turned into us coming here almost every day. We absolutely love this pool! It is clean, well maintained, and you can tell the staff actually takes pride in keeping the facility nice. The lifeguards are probably one of my favorite parts. They are always in good spirits, hilarious, friendly, and genuinely seem to enjoy being there. During their breaks, you will often see them cleaning the pool, picking things up, or making sure everything is in order. It really makes a difference when you can see the staff actively caring about the space. There are pool noodles available for use or you can bring your own. ( nothing can be blow up for safety ) One thing I especially love about this pool is the filtration system that runs around the perimeter. It creates a shallow ledge around the pool that you can actually sit on. As a parent, this is AMAZING. I can sit comfortably on the ledge while my kids play right in front of me instead of constantly having to stand or sit on the pool deck. There are also benches throughout the area, and while there are not a ton of chairs, there are definitely more than we have seen at some other city pools. We usually just bring our own chairs anyway. The pool has a splash pad area for the kids, which is a nice addition. I will say the chlorine smell and concentration in that area can be pretty strong, so with our eight month old, we usually avoid spending much time there. That is really more of a personal preference than a complaint because I completely understand the need to keep a splash pad properly sanitized. I also really appreciate that the pool is accessible. There is a ramp for entering the pool as well as traditional steps, which makes it much easier for people with different mobility needs to enjoy the pool. The deep end is only open when a lifeguard is stationed over there, but they do a great job rotating and making sure it is available frequently. They also seem very responsive when people are interested in using the deep end. The deepest part of the pool is six feet, which is plenty for us. They do have a 30 minute break from 4:30 to 5:00, and during that time everyone has to leave the facility. However, I actually appreciate how they handle this. If you have chairs, bags, or your kids' things set up, you are allowed to leave them inside. They close and lock the doors, so your belongings are safe while you step out. There is also a playground right around the corner, and an ice cream truck conveniently seems to know exactly when the pool break happens and is usually parked right in front of the entrance. The bathrooms are also extremely clean, which deserves its own mention because that is not something you can always say about public pools. There is limited shade, with one large umbrella in the corner near the splash pad, so I definitely recommend bringing your own umbrella or shade tent if you need more protection from the sun. Overall, we have had such a positive experience here. It is clean, comfortable, well maintained, family friendly, and the staff genuinely seems to care about the people who come here. It is also rarely overly crowded, which makes it so much more enjoyable when you are trying to let your kids actually have fun instead of constantly worrying about bumping into someone. Funny enough, we only found this pool because someone at another pool suggested it to us, and I am honestly thankful they did. We will definitely keep coming back!

I called and was told there is a $5 day pass. I show up asking abt the pass and where to buy and…read morethese kids look are watching me smugly. 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. ‍

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!
