I'm here to tell you that if you live in the area, and you swim or have children who like to be outdoors in a pool, this is a way better way to get that experience than to have your own pool at home. The pool is split in 3 separate areas. 1 for swimming (25ft), 1 for adults (depth ~ 6 ft) and 1 general area for kids and adults to just be in the water. Outside the pool area there is a kiddo pool for those under 4 years old. Then there is a very nice water spray park with plenty of activities for those under 7 years old. Lastly, there are slides for those 14 and under when they can go all wet and slide down -- this is shaded under trees so it's cooler than the other areas. The park sells food, but people bring their own coolers with food and drinks (no alcohol). Bathrooms and change areas are cool and safe. People are really friendly, mostly teenagers acting as staff. Lifeguards are around in all sections. Children need to pass a swimming test to be in the other areas of the pool. If they do not know how to swim or thread in water, they get a yellow band and are confined to the recreation area. I've met plenty of people from the community. Everybody is friendly. People get the season pass and go there every time the weather is nice.

I have been going to the pool for 3 years now and have had mostly a wonderful experience. The…read morelifeguards are courteous and friendly however tonight I had my first uncomfortable experience. It was just about closing time and my husband and I were the only patrons left in the water. I put my arms around my husband and gave him a totally benign kiss when we were approached by a lifeguard who accused us of being sexually inappropriate. I immediately exited the pool and found a manager who wildly accused us of disorderly conduct. Furthermore if you have young children I advise against taking them here as although thong bikinis are against pool policy I see them on a regular basis.

The swim club has so much to offer, swimming lessons, a swim team, a diving team, tennis lessons, and so much more. The recreation department does a fabulous job running this facility. My children loved the swimming and diving lessons they had and the instructors are highly competent. Definitely worth the membership fee, will join again next year.

The pools administration is filled with folks who are quite sanctimonious & condescending, and the…read morestaff are their blowhards. Growing up here is something I will always cherish, but the administration has allowed the pool to spiral downhill. Regular maintenance is visibly slipping the past few years. They're much less concerned for watching kids run or push anyone into the pool and would sooner yell at someone based upon the chair they sit in (THE STAFF FORCED ME TO VACATE AN EMPTY CHAIR THE ONE DAY THE PLACE WAS ACTUALLY FULL) And it tracks that they would have no waiting list for the first time. If I had to willingly deal with such an administration and pay that price? I'd much rather go to any other pool club in Middlesex County. Please look around before thinking about this spot. As a once lifelong member, never thought I'd have to say that.

There's a smaller section for small toddlers (smaller slides, a little house attached to it, etc.) and also a larger section for kids 5+ (larger slides, balance ropes, etc.). Both sections have some overhead coverage but the park itself is not shaded. There's also a separate area where the swings are and also a climbing rock/boulder. There's basketball courts adjacent to the kids playground and a good amount of parking. It's definitely one of the cleaner and newer parks around and would definitely recommend checking it out.
