This is one of the three pools that offers children's swim hours from 1p-4p. I wasn't sure what to expect, and I was so thrilled to find that the staff was very welcoming , even saying " We hope more children come today!"nThe pool is salt water and heated. There is also a large Jacuzzi ( Age restriction- must be 16 years old) . Like all the Recreation Centers, the grounds are IMMACULATE. There is also a fitness center, basketball and pickle ball at this location.

As a respectable hiker, I'm not going to call this a hike but it is a cool experience. I stopped by…read moreon Memorial Day in the afternoon by design. It was 95 degrees so I knew a challenging hike would be out of the question. Something like Hole-in-the-Rock though, easy peasy. While there were a decent number of people there, I had no trouble finding free parking. This natural wonder is located in Papago Park close to the Phoenix Zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden. After you park, you'll have a five-minute walk to get to Hole-in-the-Rock. You'll have to climb an incline to get in the hole, so definitely be careful, but there are kids that do it too. And a lot of tourists that show up. So that pretty much sums it up. Once you get inside, you'll have an awesome view of the Phoenix through a literal hole in a big rock. You'll see a lot of people using it as a photo opp. That's not really my style, so instead, I took a seat and enjoyed the beauty for 10 minutes or so. It can get pretty crowded so keep that in mind if you stop by on a weekend. Hole-in-the-Rock is one of the top attractions on TripAdvisor in Phoenix. Definitely a cool (and short) adventure to cross of the bucket list. I spent 30 minutes there (which included hanging out in the rock for half the time).

Bell boasts the best pools but you cannot swim in water that is only 80°! All they do is argue if you bring it up. Very unprofessional behavior by all. That lap pool is only used for swim team. This is not fair! I've also been lied to regarding the reasons for cooling the water down. I've been swimming there a long time and this is something new. I am disgusted with this and will never buy another privilege card. What a waste of money for me, I deserve a refund!
