I was told this was the best pool in the city by a co-worker. So I hopped on the LRT to check it out.
Its a giant rec center, the commonwealth. I believe the drop in rate was decent, 7$. You need to pay for lockers, bring a lock I believe or use the free lockers outside the change room.
My only comment about the change room is they don't have a swim suit drier.
The pool area is huge, however its largely a kiddie pool,( which is perfect for fam jams). They have a rockwall you can climb, if you fall you just hit water. They have slides too. The whole area was busy but it didn't seem crowded.
The hot tub is pretty big. They have a steam room, which is ample in size as well, (this is critical). I found the swimming lanes a bit short and small for the size of the whole area...
This pool is a bit out of the way, I don't imagine I'll be returning often. read more
