“I took my daughter to a swimming class here. The number of swim teachers were very good. The pool water was a little cool and I think the water should be a warmer for the kids. The closet and shower area was also clean but there was no place to change swimsuits. The biggest advantage here is the reasonable price of its services. In addition to the pool, there is a basketball court, a gym and community rooms.”

“Good pool, but the locker rooms could use some updating/cleaning. Also wished there were longer lap swim hours to avoid overcrowding, but I understand this is a community facility that has tons of other activities.”

“I recently became an amputee. I lost a leg. After healing from a hemipelvectomy, I was ready for my first swim. The pk dist staffer helped me take a lift to the pool. They were very friendly and helpful. They offered a chair lift to get me into the water. The experience was completely accessible. They were attentive as I entered the water for my first swim after 2 yrs of relative inactivity. I had a great swim. Restr”

“It's a nice pool and isn't overcrowded typically with 6 lanes. The staff is friendly and it's clean. The only downside is the water is a tad warm. I think they said they keep it at 81 or 84 and the soap dispensers in the showers are empty sometimes, but neither bothers me that much. It's a great deal and I probably shouldn't be writing this because I don't want to get the secret out. lol”

“I swim at a lot of pools in the city. Gill is super clean, way more than some other pools at private gyms. It's also not over-chlorinated, which is another issue at mentioned gym pools. The locker room is also clean. Staff and lifeguards are friendly and professional. Generous lunchtime lap swim time.”

“Gill Park Pool is not ice cold easy to get in for the first time and it's busy and I love to watch the little toddlers, they swim like fish and I cannot swim at all but I'm coming along. On hot days Gill Park Pool is perfect and I love the water, also I watch the people swim from one end of the pool to another. The watch guards are on duty at all times and I'm glad about that because I held on the side of the pool an”
