Having grown up in an area where day passes to community pools were a given, it was quite the shock to move to Philly and realize it's next to nearly impossible to get a day pass anywhere. This past week we went to the Marsh Creek Swimming pool for the day with our twins. It does get crowded with campers, but all in all it was a good experience. The pool is sectioned off nicely with a ramp into a very shallow area - perfect for toddler play. The "deep" end is only 4 feet deep, so it isn't too crazy. They have a fantastic splash pad area and you can rent the pavilion. We brought beach chairs and sat in the grass - the grass areas are limited, so I'm sure it's insane on the weekends, but it worked perfectly for us. read more

I was surprised that my 10-month-old was charged full admission. Most airlines don't even charge infants to travel to another state or country, so paying full price for a baby who isn't using the facilities the same way adults are felt unreasonable. The pool was also extremely crowded. People were jumping into the water, throwing balls, and tossing each other around, which led to people accidentally getting hit. It didn't feel like there was much enforcement of pool safety or courtesy. I imagine the experience would be much better on a weekday when it's less busy, but I still think the pool should have clearer rules and better supervision to keep everyone safe. Overall, I'd recommend reconsidering the admission policy for infants and enforcing pool rules more consistently to create a safer, more enjoyable environment for families. read more

Marsh Creek is a beautiful public park. HOWEVER, the "nice" pool and low entry cost of $14pp attracts the most ghetto crowd. The bathroom was also very filthy with broken shower heads. There were no area for you to put down your stuff except for the open lawn. The experience here was horrible! Someone actual STOLE my toddlers crocs! How do you justify in stealing from a two years old? I also saw another lady snooping around my iPhone16- had the nerve to touch it and I'm sure she was trying to steal it until I went over to grab it! Please avoid at all costs. We won't be returning. read more

Great pool. Great for family time. The lake is right there and they have finger food for purchase along with swim gear for purchase.

My family and I came here to swim for the day. The day passes were very affordable. We came on a weekday and it was very quiet. Later on that day we saw quite a few of daycamp busses pull up. We were nervous they were going to take over the pool, but we were extremely pleased with how well the staff and camp employees made sure to keep the kids on their best behavior and not overrunning the place. We had a great time and are interested in coming back next year as membership read more

Well I will say it's a beautiful pool and great for kids but beware of staff!!! First off it doesn't matter that my daughter is only 13months and my son 3 months we still had to pay the adult price which I was already turned off about. what really upset me was when we went to find a spot in the shade the only spot we could find was the 15 feet spot away from the pavilion however when we set our things down we were told by staff that we had to move because people had rented the pavilion which was fine but this was 15-20 feet away but yet we were told we had to pick out stuff of the grass and move into the sun and not politely then we're further disrespectEd by the people who rented it saying " we paid for this pavilion so if we want this grass we will have this grass!" Other than that the food is way over priced and they charge per head doesn't matter if it's a 3 month old baby read more

Very nice facility. Well maintained with a nice water spray attraction for all. Concession stand is convenient. Only negative is it's Saturday and Sunday popularity. A little crowded. And why not. It's a nice weekend destination read more

Love going to this pool. Buy annual pass yearly. This may be my last year buying yearly pass. The pool is CLOSED more than it is OPEN. Staffing appears too be problem. Just found out the pool will be CLOSED the whole week before Labor Day. Well then don't charge so much for the season passes. Or get another company in there that will adequately staff the pool for the whole season. Subcontract those days you are unable too staff. This is a real problem. Now, thinking of safety. If staffing is a problem, do you staff enough lifeguards??? read more

Marsh Creek Pool is a great clean facility with friendly staff. We join every year. The pool is well staffed and well run. My kids LOVE the spray ground. The fees are much less than any other swimming pool around. They have a great food concession as well. They also offer a daily rate. read more
