    Clean friendly staff, the water is heated which is great on chilly days. My daughter had a great…read moretime. The only problem is the slide was not turned on, they were slightly short staffed on the day we went. But overall we had a really good experience. There is a lifeguard on duty as well.

    Is it reasonable to officially display a price of $10 per adult and $5 per child, but upon arrival…read morebe charged $20 per adult and $10 per child with no explanation, when the prices are published on an official government website? It can feel misleading or confusing for visitors. Public pool? Technically, it is a public facility, but in practice it does not always feel that way. For residents, the fee is $10 per adult and $5 per child, while for non-residents it is $20 per adult and $10 per child. This is already on the higher end of what is traditionally expected from a municipal pool. In addition, the city website is not always updated with the most current pricing. Olympic pool? Yes, in terms of structure and size, but it does not include a diving area, so it is limited in that sense. Heated water? That statement can be misleading depending on the season, as the water is not consistently heated year-round. We are in April, and the water feels extremely cold, almost like "ice water." I have been coming here for several years, and this is the first time we have felt that some younger staff members are interacting with children in a more strict or tense manner; this was not the case before. There are also private hotel pools and small water parks that charge around $15-$20, and many times they feel more relaxed and accessible. This raises a valid question about value and accessibility in comparison. It also gives the impression that there is a gradual shift toward prioritizing residents (despite significant price increases for them as well) or increasing overall costs, which raises concerns about long-term accessibility for non-residents. At the same time, these facilities are publicly funded through taxpayer money, including contributions from Miami-Dade County, and entry fees are intended to help cover operational and maintenance costs. Overall, this is a matter of balance: public infrastructure is supported by taxpayers, but users also expect fair pricing, transparency, and a clear value in return. I hope these facilities do not evolve into spaces that feel similar to private venues, as that could create an unfair competitive disadvantage for private businesses in the same category.

    A great community resource... if you can access it…read more The park and pool's website information has not been updated. Hours and cost information listed online are not correct. The pool is lovely and well-maintained. You can swim laps, paddle around, or take swimming lessons at different times of the day. I tried to use the pool a couple of times during the day but wasn't able to because it was either mysteriously closed or had no public access - swim lessons were being given. The changing rooms are a bit... Spartan and rustic - nothing but a few benches in a concrete box. Do not go by the hours listed online. You have to physically go to the pool and look at the noticed posted at the pool entrance. (see photo) The price online is also wrong. The fact that it is late June and the Recreation Center sill has a lit Christmas tree in the lobby lets you know that oversight and management is nearly non-existent. If they don't have the leadership to pack a Christmas tree in a box, then certainly don't expect the website to show current information.

    What a sweet little pool in the heart of Downtown/Brickell! Right on the Miami River, you can watch…read morethe boats go by as you swim your laps. And at only $3 per adult, it's a steal! I was worried they wouldn't take credit cards since it's such a low fee, but they do. The pool didn't feel like a typical 25 yard length, so I asked the lifeguard and he says it's a 33 meter pool. Bear in mind as you plan your workout. Pool has five or six lanes and is flanked by bleachers and some very basic changing room/shower facilities. Lap swim hours (pictured) are pretty extensive Monday through Friday. Less so Saturday and Sunday but still workable. I came in the middle of a work day and had a lane to myself.

    I think this is a nice park. I went there today for a birthday party through a church…read more The park has two water areas; the main pool and a kiddie playground. The main pool goes up to eleven feet. The kiddie playground area was 1 foot. The kiddie playground area was simple but my son had a blast for the 10 minutes he was able to enjoy it. He kept asking to go back. For whatever reason they closed that side. I honestly think the lifeguard just didn't want to be bothered. He told us he was leaving to go home but 30 minutes later I saw him over by the main pool. Luckily the main pool started at 3 feet and my son was able to enjoy the water although I'd much preferred him on the kiddie side. My son loves water so I always have a mini heart attack whenever he ventures outside of the kiddie section. This pool does offer swimming lessons. It is an 8 week session and it's $40 for north miami residents and $60 for non residents. The swim instructor was present which was a huge plus because I want to sign my son up. He was super nice and very informative. The other staff members were ok. You could tell that they'd love to be anywhere else but there. However that's to be expected. They're teenage boys. I remember wanting to be anywhere but work when I was teenager. And if I'm being totally honest, I still feel that way as an adult! This pool is a little on the small side but I think that's a good thing. However if it gets packed that may not be a good thing.

    My kids go to the swimming lessons at the pool. The place is always clean. We have to try it when…read moreit's open to everybody to see how packed it gets.
