This pool is great location if you have littles or if you're just a big kid at heart. One of the larger public pools and feels like a mini amusement park, with huge slides and activities for all. Came here with family and it was the perfect day to enjoy and have fun. Life guards are always on staff , which makes it very safe and worry free fun. read more

Wheaton Glenmont Outdoor Pool - Swimming Pools Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

See all

I came here with some friends and was excited to see that they had various slides. They also had floating Lilly pads/ wood logs where you can walk across on to test your balance. The spring board was closed so that sucked. I spent about 4 hours here trying to get a tan. The people that were laid out behind me unfortunately got their wallets and phones stolen. I recall that the pool had a safety swim every hour without an adult swim session. This was a bit annoying! Beware of your belonging and keep your eye on them! read more

I've only ever come on the weekday. But $7 to get in. Not super crowded. Could find a couple chairs easily. Pool wasn't over crowded. It was clean. Couple of pools. Some for kids. A couple of lap lanes. 2 big slides 2 little slides 2 diving boards. Nice place but I can see how it would be hard to find a spot on the weekend. Not a lot of grassy areas read more

Great outdoor pool with a few slides for a get low price! Cleaning the water every hour is a plus! But you better come early because the line can go for miles long, and you would wanna grab a seat under the umbrella spots. You could also bring your own food and drinks or order delivery and pick it up by the fencing around the front side of the park! read more

Wheaton Glenmont Outdoor Pool - Fun in the sun! - Swimming Pools Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

This facility definitely has the feel of a neighborhood pool. There are three lap lanes, a large area for just goofing around in the water, diving boards, several water slides of varying sizes, and a small cross-the-lilypads course. There is no concession stand, so you will need to bring your own food and/or beverage if that's what you want to do. However, in swimming here as a lap swimmer, I get the feeling that the county does not maintain this pool as it should. There is a lot of debris from nearby trees in the bottom of the diving well, and I have encountered quite a bit of hair floating around in the pool. Additionally, the water feels as though it has not been properly treated with chlorine. The county's indoor pools are meticulously maintained, and normally one can detect a faint chlorine scent on one's skin after swimming there. Coming out of Wheaton/Glenmont Outdoor Pool, the scent on my skin is closer to that of a freshwater stream or lake rather than a swimming pool. I would love to be wrong on this, but the smell test, along with a lack of any eye irritation in the pool when swimming without goggles, leads me to think that the water is not chlorinated, nor treated with salt. I will forgive the pool's operators for some of the tree debris, as a storm with high winds came through the area within the past week, but the lack of sufficient chlorination and the large amounts of hair found in this pool are inexcusable. read more

Berry nice play to have fun with the family we enjoy this play with my friends and family

Fun place to bring kids of all ages. Plenty of lawn seating but not much shade which can be miserable on an extremely hot day. I definitely recommend bringing some kind of tent if it's hot and you plan on being there for a while. They allow outside food which is a bonus. I wish they would make the bathrooms more family friendly. When moms bring their sons, they have to bring them in the woman's bathroom with them, which is fine, but there should be some kind of age limit or a designated area for families so that everyone feels comfortable. read more

I like that there's like a separate pool where u can just float around but don't come here during the summer when it's hot. I literally felt like I was swimming in warm sunscreen lotion it was a nasty feeling. and then accompanied by strands of hair here and there yuck no ty. it's also super crowded to get ready to bump into everyone. i really wish outdoor pools enforced like a cap rule if you have long hair. this is a general statement. but yeah. read more

We have plenty of pools to choose from in this area, but Glenmont is the way to go. The water slides give me the impression that we're in a water park (but without the huge lines and outrageous cost). There's a huge wading pool for infants/toddlers, and as your kids grow bigger, they have the option of the waterfall/mushroom and toddler slides. My kids are 9 and 12 now, and tall enough to do all the 'big kid' stuff - which they absolutely love. There's a water walk and diving boards, too - plus, plenty of 'just swimming' room should they ever decide to put their heads down and go. And for the price, it's a day's entertainment that can't be beat in this area. We love it. read more

Mixed feelings about this pool. Sometime their spot on with their cleaning and other days terrible just terrible. Like dude they're are kids here like the ones that work there think it's play time or something. Like you don't care about the people around you with kids and others actually a little above and beyond. Oh but I can tell you that the sass is so real here. Eye rolling and teeth sucking like its my fault you decided to get this summer job. Needs to get it together. read more

This is a FANTASTIC outdoor pool. It has about 6 waterslides (2 of them are pretty big), and dual ropes course over floating objects in the water, a great kids play area, and a fun baby pool. There are also lap lanes in the adult pool area. It doesn't get as crowded as the Martin Luther King Pool nearby. The place is in good repair. It's a VERY nice modern pool with enough water-park aspects to keep kids very happy. read more

My family and I had a wonderful time at this pool yesterday. It was very clean, not too over crowded, and staff were great. I saw 3 rescues while there life guards were very vigilant. There is a snack bar located up in the far left corner when you first enter and they also allow pizza delivery to the pool or you may bring in your own food. All in All if you have children they will definitely enjoy this pool! read more

Clean your pool! Too many dead floating bugs. I will change my review of this pool if you start cleaning up. Just because Campers come to your pool, doesn't mean you can't keep a clean pool. read more

We had a good time. The water park is fairly big with couple big slides for adults and smaller slides for kids. There are lots of seating.
