This allows me a little bit more privacy than the open floor plan of most gyms, and there is never an issue finding an open machine.

Actual name to use when looking up hours: Veterans Memorial Pool…read more For the convenient location in Cambridge, I was surprised that the pool wasn't at all crowded when visiting on Sunday afternoons this summer! There aren't very shallow areas for the toddlers like there are at some of the other DCR pools, such as Connors Memorial Pool in Waltham, which probably helps to keep the crowds down. But the pool is very spacious and has enough space both for lap swimmers and kids playing. The spray deck just outside is great for the younger kids, too.

I had a previous review on here stating that the pool had no shade on the decks and the changing…read morerooms did not have privacy walls. It's a year later and they've done extensive updates to the pool location. 1. There's now an ADA regulation ramp with rails going into the pool for those in wheelchairs or who have trouble walking. 2. They added easier steps and hand rails for children and families to enter at the opposite end (long stairs that slope gently instead of ladder style.) 3. They have added permanent shade awnings around the pool, along with wooden benches underneath them (definitely still try to come early because those get snapped up quickly.) 4. The changing rooms are the same, but entering the locker rooms, there is now almost a rubberized "curtain" of small strips to walk through that creates privacy. Previously anyone walking by in the main corridor could see directly in. 5. The splash pad/fountain area has awnings and benches around it, and is ADA accessible. As of summer of 2023, the pool is open 7 days a week from 11:15AM-6:00PM. The changes have greatly improved the property, and it's a place where you can come and stay all day instead of roasting on hot concrete. They also have water fountains and outdoor showers along the pool deck for getting a quick drink and rinsing off.

The range of activities and utilities is wonderful (they have an honest to god steam room), and the pool and hot tub are clean and always staffed. My one complaint is the pool availability on the weekend. There are specific times that three pol is unavailable sir to classes on Saturday, making it hard for those of us who swim as their excercize. There are also some really entitled people who come here, mostly older, who don't like sharing lanes... when there are like two or three open.

Nevertheless, the staff doesn't seem to understand the meaning of LAP SWIM. They allow people to linger and stand around in the lanes while people wait to swim. I understand accommodations are made for the elderly and special needs people. If you're a serious swimmer, don't join. I would like a staff member to leave a contact number for a discussion.

This is an awesome community pool for city folk to cool off at.

Entry is $2 for adults, or you can pay $40 for a season pass. The parking lot is small, but there's additional parking at Dilboy stadium a short walk away. No food or drink allowed (besides water of course) which is a bummer, but makes sense for health and cleanliness issues. A few other reviewers thought the pool was dirty, but I haven't found that to be true. The locker rooms/bathrooms are a little rough, but it's an old community pool, what do you expect? It's pretty packed with kids so this is not the place to come for peace and quiet. Regardless, this will be a regular haunt of mine this summer for sure!

There is TONS of parking, some of it a bit down the street, but all free. 3. Also - there is a wheel chair ramp. This place is awesome because its quite clean (the pool, perhaps not the bathrooms, but they suffice) and theres space for everyone. You have to bring your own chairs/towels to sit on as they don't have them, but they DO have children's life vests for kids that may not own one (and can't swim yet). Shout out to the pool for being massive. I love this place!

Another annoying occurrence is that it takes weeks/if not months for something to be fixed (example the sensors in the sauna) There is a group of older gentlemen who continuously talk about the saunas/stream baths in their original country of origin.

There were three to four lifeguards on duty and none were really doing their job. One said I could not do something when I asked but then another one said it was ok and helped me.

During the summer they had evening dances for teenagers with jukebox music. My parents went to a number of adult dances. At least a couple of times on weekends my parents took my brother and me to go swimming and brought food. At dinner time we walked probably a hundred yards from the pool and had a meal in their picnic grove near the Connecticut River. Then went for an evening swim between 6-8 pm before going home. At that time the membership was about $150 per year for the family. My father would bring the car home at lunchtime so my mother could take my brother and me to their pool, sometimes I brought one of my best friends.If it has been maintained as well as the pictures show, it is well worth visiting to learn more about their current membership levels.
