    I'm 81 yrs old and ate the age of 13 or14 Kelly pool was in our neighborhood that we had not the…read morethe only ione but the only one in tarea area that we where allowed into swim in BUT Kelly was first class we went most every Sunday when the swim period was the longest . The other pool didn't allow blacks !

    Perhaps the most beautiful pool in N. America!…read more Lap-swim friendly in 2023: The only public pool in Philly where one can swim laps. There are three permanently roped off, 50m-long lap swim lanes! It's big: Olympic sized (50m x 25 m). It's free: No charge! Capacity & time limits: Sometimes when it's really crowded (eg, hot and sunny weekend afternoons), a line forms outside the pool, because they limit capacity to a number that lifeguards can safely support. When there's a line, every 20 or 30 minutes, they'll ask everyone in the pool to leave the pool grounds, and then they'll invite the next batch of people to enter the pool grounds. If there's a line, you could try to ask the gatekeeper if they can say when they'll next clear the pool, so that you could decide whether to enter for that bit of remaining time or wait to enter with the next batch for the full time limit. Family friendly up to a limit: lots of big kids, little kids, babies. I'd guess the pool is 4 feet at the shallowest. There is no wading pool. Fun for grownups to hang out (in 2023): this season they've instituted adults-only hour on weekdays, 6-7 pm. I think kids can continue to hang out on land, but can't be in the pool after 6 pm. Showers are meh: There are 4 outdoor, totally exposed showers (and no indoor or private showers) and their drains tend to swamp with standing water, so you'll want to rinse your feet separately if you shower when exiting. They don't mind if you shampoo and soap in those outdoor showers. Also it sucks that they leave the showers on continuously, wasting hundreds of gallons of water per day. Great setting: Ample parking. Next to beautiful Please Touch Museum, lots of beautiful, soft, green grass for sitting or laying on, and the pool is surrounded by Fairmount Park's acres of picnicking lawn. The rules are pretty standard: wear a swimsuit, no floats. The only things that would make this pool better: more life guards to increase capacity, add a wading pool, add a snack stand (but then they'd always be overcrowded, so they'd have to hire even more lifeguards), let people use floats during adult hour. And clear the shower drain and fix the shower controls so we don't have to waste water and leave them on all day.

    Great neighborhood pool, good for new swimmers, splash pad, water slide great for all ages.read more

    One of the many great reasons to be an Ardmorian would be that we have one of the Great Deals of…read morethe Century: The Ardmore Avenue Pool. This pool, completely renovated in 2004, is large enough to have fun but small enough to be able to spot your young 'un from anywhere you sit. The entrance is through Vernon Young Park, another gem with a full kids' playground, basketball & tennis courts, a large playing field for baseball, flag football, soccer, etc. and the Ardmore Avenue Community Center. So, if the young un's don't want to swim, they can play too. When you enter, you pass through either the male or female changing areas complete with lockers and showers as well as restrooms. There are two pools - a good sized toddler pool with a zero step entry, water spouts and a water mushroom play feature. Maximum depth 18 inches. Then there is the 'larger' pool, also with a zero step entry, a water slide and maximum depth of 5'. Separating the two are a low fence, some bushes, and a shade awning over some grass. Surrounding both pools are picnic tables with umbrellas. Water toys are permitted in the baby pool area. The pools are staffed with lifeguards who change station regularly to stay alert. There is no snack bar, which is in some ways a blessing (no $9 fries!). Many of the local restaurants deliver 'to the pool', and if you want you can easily leave and walk to many of them too. Parking? Well, that's the one star off. It's street only, and it can be a bit of a challenge. I don't want them to make a parking lot by any means, but it does take away from the experience. Also, you bring your own chairs, blankets, etc, which can make for a haul. Maybe the Township will get wise and start a business to rent chairs on site (hint, hint). Now, the thing that makes this really GREAT. The cost to join? For a family of four, residents of the Township, about $70. For the season. Really. Over 65 year old residents are free. Yes, really. That is not a typo. It's under a hundred dollars. A year. Well, a summer. The pool is open Memorial Day - Labor Day. (Residents of Narberth Borough can join but at a higher rate as can a limited number of residents in Ardmore, Haverford Township, again at a higher rate.) Like I said, one of the Great Deals of the Century. Here in wonderful Ardmore.
