One my fourth year of being members here with my family, but this one goes all the way back to my youth in the 90's as this was our pool back then as well. Time is a flat circle.
It's gotten a nice facelift over the years, particularly with the kids/baby pool area. It was once a (questionably) warm, shallow area off to the side, but now has a gradual walk-in area with plenty of shallow areas, fountains, a small slide, and shade. And new for 2026, they've expanded the "lawn" with astro turf allowing more picnic style seating and laying out Great improvement.
The rest of the pool area is strikingly similar, and classic in the best way. Picture the pool from The Sandlot of some other neighborhood throwback. It features a low dive and a high dive, a modest slide, and lots of seating all around.
This has been a win for us as non-residents because:
- The location is good
- The kids love it
- There is actual shade in parts of the pool which is rare
- The snack bar is still somewhat on 90's pricing (please don't change that!)
- The summer membership costs were reasonable ($75 per person I believe)
The beauty of this spot is it's simplicity. Sometimes a pool trip with small kids learning to swim isn't the most relaxing time because of the necessary helicopter parenting involved, but this one does its best to make it fun. The kids love testing their comfort levels in a healthy way, and there's plenty of lounge time based on the redesign of the pool.
It's a bit of a bummer that once mid-August hits, the lifeguards go back to school and hours scale back dramatically. It feels like the end of everything every if there are a few weekends left.
I still enjoy time at the Woodside pool when I can find it, but I'm a fan of this community pool for the family trips out this summer so far. read more
