Piedmont Park Aquatic Center - Atlanta, Georgia

This is a very nice swimming pool in the heart of Piedmont Park! Opened seasonally and sponsored by the City of Atlanta. For a small price (five dollars) you can go in. If you come between 3pm-5pm the pool can even be entered for free, but this may be a temporary action. That’s a great service! See the website for the most accurate situation. The pool is lovely to see with the old buildings and has four lanes for lap swimming, a beach like pool with a gently sloping floor ideally for young kids. The main attraction is the current channel and the “centrifuge” which lets you float around, very much fun! And some fountains for the smallest children. If you bring your own padlock, you can even have your own free locker.

It is therefore surprising to find out that they have a policy called “adult swim only”, every hour from .45 till the hour. No kids allowed in the water… no kidding! That I find a weird rule and not very inclusive for families with children. Especially if you have paid for entrance, kids can only swim for 45 minutes per hour while adults can swim for 60 minutes. I would understand it better if you would organise complete adult hours, if you must… This is actually the only negative point I can mention. For the rest it’s a gem inside Piedmont park. Would go there again though and try to not to be bothered about that strange rule to exclude young adults to be…

Piedmont Park Aquatic Center is located in Atlanta Piedmont Park intersecting Uptown & Midtown. A very neat area with plenty of local events all year round. The outdoor pool is open all summer long with free swim from 3pm-5pm. Very scenic area with a concession stand, pool deck with a lap pool, children area, free locker, restrooms with showers, and adjustable pool chairs. Very neat that it’s located in a historic bathe house.

Went this year on a Saturday as it was only $5 per usual and had a pretty good time just “floating” and doing bootleg water aerobics.

Wow! What a oasis in the city! This community pool is stunning! We got in at 11:30am and it was very quiet. The pool was crystal clear and very warm. Lots of room to swim and play. It has a beach like walk in for younger kids and plenty of places to sit on the sides of the pool. There was a fun lazy river and a whirlpool part too. My kids had so much fun swimming! There are 4 swim lanes and a grassy area off the side for lounging or playing games. There is a concession stand where you can order hot food you can purchase as well as cold items such as soda, frozen lemonade and smoothies. Plenty of seating but tables with umbrellas go fast so getting there early is a huge plus!
The lifeguards are young and some very unattenttive. Please keep an eye on your children because I did not have a lot of confidence in their abilities. I'm not including them in my rating, only the pool itself! I will say the lady at the front desk was very nice and greeted us like we were old friends! We parked in the garage at Piedmont and walked down, only 10 minutes and the car stayed cool, which was great on a summer day! For $10 for about 6 hours in the city, it was a great deal!
The pool was only $5 a person. This was a great way to cool off on a 100° day!

It was my first time here. Enjoyed it so much. The restrooms are kept clean as can possibly be. I like how they have an “adult swim” session each hour. I like that there are lifeguards there to keep the kids safe. And most importantly, the water is clean and they check the water every hour. To all the staff there, thank you for all you do.

Nice swimming pool in the middle of piedmont park. We loved the small lazy river. Check their website for member/general admission. We arrived during the member swim time and had to wait for general admission time, so we ended up getting food at the snack bar in front of the pool. Sometimes there can be a wait to get in, but it's never been too long for us.

This is a beautiful pool to visit. I took younger children, because of the zero depth entry. I was a little disappointed because the lifeguards were allowing a lot of rough play by older kids in the water. We went on a summer weekday, and it seemed like a summer camp was attending the pool. The locker/changing rooms are clean and easily accessible. There is also a small splash pad area and tables for with umbrellas for sitting. They do have a snack window for purchase of snacks and we brought our own.
