No private shower stall, no door. Shower heads need to be pressed the whole time to work and they are very stiff (torturing). Cheap management. The water is so dirty, 6ft lanes are in the middle of the pool. Weird. Sits right next to a rail track and busy streets so extra dusty. No shades whatsoever. Street parking only. Extremely uncomfortable experience. Never again even the location is convenient. This rundown place needs a serious upgrade. How can it gets 4+ star the rating is so misleading. Most of the staff is actually ok thou

This is my favorite spot for a dip in the Summer, the water is perfect and the staffs are always friendly, there's not too many people so I can relax when im just floating in water. So sad it's gonna close soon and open next summer :/

Mixed reviews. The pool itself is lovely, water temp perfect for lap swimming, and very clean pool and not crowded. Lifeguards and staff super friendly. However, for this 75 year old woman who is used to climbing out of public pools, I found that the ladder steps and the pool edge were very difficult to navigate. Glassell, and Yosemite have ladders as well, but are much easier. Also, the showers and changing rooms were very outdated, and not handicapped friendly.

LOVE this pool! My kid and I have been coming here for years. Perfect summer afternoons spent here at one of our fine city's adequate amenities. The pool is clean, not crowded, and embedded in the heart of Highland Park with historic murals within view and the light trail zooming by every few minutes.
The lifeguards and staff are so friendly and smart! Especially love how BIG this pool is compared to other public pools nearby.

In case you don't already know, the cost for a summer pool pass is $10 for kids. Adults over 50 get in for $1, everyone else only $4.

Local tip: go to the architecturally significant Arroyo Seco library in the early afternoon, then stroll thru the park to the pool...

Convenient to public trans/metro.

4 stars only bc the showers and changing rooms badly in need of an upgrade. Other public pools have good showers... Why not this one?

The only positive thing about this pool is that it's hardly ever packed, and the community is friendly. It's overlooking the mainstreet and there's no shade the poor lifeguards look so hot and I often found they weren't even looking at the water or the kids. The changing room is so out dated including the doors to changing rooms. The showers are extremely rusted and it's difficult to turn on the water.

Pool is clean, not recommended for people with disabilities. Has no steps to walk into the pool. The chair that lower people into the pool doesn’t work, benches at dressing room are terrible low for those who can’t seat too low. The staff was friendly. Hope they fix those issues soon.

This is the most dirty pools ever. And the lifeguards were very disrespectful and rude.
