The parking lot is tiny, though, so it's very hard to visit if you don't live close enough to walk. They also have very frequent and lengthy times you have to get out of the water during lifeguard shift changes, so we were never able to spend very much time actually in the pool when we visited.

It's really fun, but they take us out a certain time for a pool Check it is really safe, but I…read moredisagree with a person that said they had to take us out at a certain time they put a four star so actually safe

This is an awesome community pool for city folk to cool off at. It's a pretty long drive to the…read morebeach from this corner of Somerville, so it's great to have somewhere closer to pop in on a hot summer day. 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!

I feel like this deserves 5 stars because of how great the accessibility is…read more 1. It costs $2pp - something everyone can afford. 2. 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!

I love this pool! I must have walked by it a 100 times and each time I thought it was a deserted…read morepool. Finally walked by it at the right time and it was open. I went in with my Dad to see what the deal was. 1. FREE! 2. Plenty of lifeguards. 3. Limits on the number of people in the pool based on how many guards they have. 4. No benches or chairs, but plenty of space to bring your own. 5. LOTS of kids. Be prepared to be splashed. 6. Did I mention FREE?! This is my go-to spot when I don't feel like making the trip to the beach.

Lots of little kids learnin to swin with their mom & dads :) Def recommend this pool :) This is def a regular spot to find me & my family having fun :)

Good location and fairy clean facility....but why not provide chairs if you can't bring your own?…read more I have frequented several pool around the area and they all offer lounge chairs or regular chairs and tables. It's very hard past the age of 20 to lay out on a towel on the ground. Ridiculous. Hopefully the new renovation coming will include places to sit and spend the day.

4 stars is pretty accurate…read more Google maps direction: if you use Google maps, don't follow the actual end point. The park entrance is right at the traffic light. If you drive past it to get to the end point on Google maps, then you are too far and will be at the exit point of the parking lot. I don't understand why playgrounds don't have trees or shades? Why? The Spray Deck is open from 8 AM to 8 PM daily. Wading Pool is open 6/15/2024 - 9/2/2024 10:15am - 5:45pm. Parking is maximum 4 hours, regardless of weekday/weekend/holiday. There is an ice cream truck there sometimes. $5 or $6 for a sugary treat. (It's almost just sugar water, no ice cream content.) No hand sanitizers outside of the porta potty, so bring your own. Plenty of free parking.

There's so much to do here!

I love coming here and walking the different paths for miles and miles. I also roller skate all the way to the Museum of Science and back -- it's the same continuous path! All around, i love this park area. There's truly so much to do.

I would advise you to avoid peak hours (between 5-7 pm) to be able to use the machines and weights you need. In my experience, it's better to come early at 5:30 am. There's a lot of morning birds like me but I usually can use the things I need immediately or with a minimal wait.

Great spot for the price. It's not perfect but it's a gym with nice cardio turf and a decent…read morevariety of machines. I never have to wait to use anything. For $26 a month it's great!

Came here for the pool. They have shoe booties to cover your dirty shoes before entering the pool…read more There are two pools - one for swim lessons and laps while the smaller pool is for little kiddies and water aerobic classes? Good to see that they offer life jackets, noodles, and other floaties. Staff hand out different colored necklaces to kids depending on their swimming level (red dotted = can't swim, red = can swim a bit but can't go to deep end, yellow = can swim to deep end). Overall ok until I saw a floating bandaid in the deep end and clump of hair on the deck. Family locker room is clean. They have soap if you want to rinse. Need to scan pass in order to enter (turnstyle like paying before entering the mbta train). That's good because other locations, everyone can enter without checking IDs or memberships. Machines can use an update. I didn't use but a family member said they are old.

So good but needs details when it's open. It is an amazing place for all people and has no flaws…read morebut the time like honestly it sometimes says open while closed at least they make the water wormer then other pools that would make it freezing cold so thanks for that.

The only negative is it's not open very long during the year - I assume because they hire students for lifeguards.
