This pool used to be available for open swimming, but now it is only used for laps & classes/lessons. The price is on with every other program in the area. I miss the days when this was open to the public for free. For open swimming you must go to the outdoor pool and pay a $5 entry fee. Tip: the staff is uber-friendly, and the place is immaculate.

This is a dedicated swimming complex with an Olympic sized pool.

This cuts the length down to 25 meters each way. I would recommend going during school hours. After kids are out of school there are so many local swimming teams practicing, it can be hard to find a lane free for laps. There is also a separate pool for diving. They have actually held Olympic diving trials here.

Granted I moved right as the first lockdown occurred and society was cautious concerning human interaction, but I should have taken advantage of this resource sooner. I will start by clarifying that the community center attached to the Park has not been open since at least 2020. I was told by one commissioner that it is unable to be reopened until structural repairs are made to the building. This, much to the dismay of my neighborhood, includes the adjoining swimming pool. But hopefully that will all be taken care of soon. Also, the children's area is not particularly where I find myself enjoying time here. Instead, the baseball field, walking track, and basketball court are where I have recently found respite. The baseball field is mostly grass at this point so it serves as a almost completely secure space for my three dogs to run around. I know that's not the original purpose, but for now that is how I use it. The walking track is not quite a quarter mile, but close enough that 5 laps will get you there. I am sure parents/guardians appreciate that it encompasses the playground so they can watch their children play while getting in some exercise. I prefer mornings if I am putting in a few laps, due to the quiet and the lower temperature. The basketball court is technically four, all parallel. This provides an adequate number of hoops for those who want a full game and those who just want to work on their free throw. As for me, it serves as a spot to work on my three pointer (ugly, but effective). I have yet to use the pavilion, which is covered and has two grills with tables and benches, but the next time I plan a larger gathering of friends that will be the spot. Parking is ample and the Parks & Rec Department does a great job keeping the area clean and mowed. Also, it is only three blocks from downtown! So if you are ever in the area, stop by and unwind. That's what it's for.

A small stream makes its way through the park and there is at least one bridge over it to enjoy the quiet sounds of the water. Lots of smooth concrete paths wind their way around the benches that are scattered just about everywhere. Many shady spots to sit and enjoy the peace. There is a good sized parking lot near the pool area. [Review 14035 overall, 1357 of 2020, number 672 in South Carolina.]

I was pleasantly surprised by the side and cleanliness of the pool. Now the bathrooms would have been a little cleaner. There was a strong smell of PEE on my last visit. Parents should better supervise their young while they are getting dress/undressed in the locker area. Their are plenty of lifeguards who are pretty serious about the safety of the patrons. You can find plenty of kids as their on summer vacation, and adults looking to tan on the lounge chairs. I'm not a major swimmer but I did enjoy my time with the kids here....
