We frequent this pool often. It is $5 per person. They accept cash/card. The main pool parking lot…read moretends to fill up on the weekends. There is an overflow gravel lot right around the corner, which is still a short walking distance from the main entrance. I advise if you can't get there when they first open, to bring your own chair or towel to sit on (and plenty sunblock). The chairs fill up quickly and I'm sure the chairs with the umbrellas fill up even quicker. I actually prefer using my own chair. Bring extra cash (they take cards too), because they have a pretty decent snack bar. The snack bar sells chips, drinks, frozen pizza (you heat it up with their microwave), ice cream, etc. There are lifeguards on duty. They take breaks every hour. Kids have to exit the pool when the lifeguards take a break, but most don't complain because that is an excuse to get snacks or go to the rest room. On the weekends, the pool gets pretty packed. There are two diving boards and a kiddie section. I enjoy the music they play. Tons of great hits. I found myself singing a little They have covered picnic tables, but those fill up quickly. My kids love going and it is a great inexpensive way to entertain them for the summer.

Alcoholic drinks in cans and plastic containers are allowed. You can rent out the club house for private parties and events. I love the palm trees and the pool has a very nice resort-like feel. It is one of the perks of living at Twin Lakes and is definitely a highlight when it opens in May.

It is a great pool. I used to live in twin lakes but not anymore and I still come here. The water…read moreslide is awesome. You are a little scared at first but then when you go down the water is so fast and it is so fun! You come down at 3.5 feet and it is overall amazing! The lifeguards are always on duty and pay close attention and have very short breaks. It is a great pool!!!!!

This is an awesome neighborhood pool. The lifeguards are friendly neighborhood kids and they have…read moregood deck chairs and a nice baby pool area. The pool is surrounded by tall trees and gets a bit of shade later in the afternoon. There's a small diving board. You can buy drinks and popcorn fairly cheaply or get pizza delivered, and there's a grill for cooking out. It's a relaxed place to take your kids to the pool, or get a bit of sun. It's not optimal for swimming laps for a serious workout, but you could definitely do a few laps if you wanted to get in a little exercise. We were so happy to find this easygoing local spot to cool off in the summer in Hillsborough!

There is quite a bit of seating but it does get very busy especially on weekends and holidays. The snack bar is a nice addition that the smaller Turnstone pool doesn't have, it has pretty good food and is pretty cheap. I do wish it had more parking because it does get busy at the pool but also shares the same parking lot as everyone going to play tennis.

I had a great summer at Friendly Acres Pool. The pool was always clean and for the most part the…read morewater was always warm. It is a shallow pool no deeper than 4' without a diving board. There is a kiddie pool. During the week, the pool area is quite empty. It can get really busy over the weekends if the weather is wonderful. The tennis courts have just been refurbished. You must be a member at Pinetop Neighborhood Resort to utilize this facility. I met many new friends here. There is enough parking in the lot. I'll be back next year.

Very nice swim club and you don't have to live in the neighborhood to join!…read more The pool is pretty shallow, I think 5 feet at the deepest point, which makes it great for kids and for relaxing. There are 2 seating benches in the pool - really good feature to stay cool while still reading your book. The only downside is the pool isn't that big. You can't really use it for swimming. And if there are a lot of kids in the pool, its hard to avoid getting splashed. There's ample seating, plenty of tables and umbrellas throughout the dry deck. The dry deck and the bathrooms are always clean!

In Chapel Hill, "The Farm" refers to the private club of the UNC Faculty-Staff Recreation…read moreAssociation. It's kind of like a country club, but without a golf course. There are tennis courts, pickleball courts, swimming and diving pools, outdoor rock climbing walls, a gym, an outdoor basketball court, disc golf, beach volleyball, a clubhouse, playground, three shelters (pavilions) with wooden tables and benches, and more. Actually, it's more like a private park than a private country club. In terms of how nice The Farm is, I'd say it's on a public park level. When I saw The Farm is private, I was thinking it would be nicer and perhaps higher-end. Instead, it felt more like a small city park that happens to be private. My wife has been here multiple times for various UNC events. I attended one of the events with her. It took place at The Farm's clubhouse, the adjacent pavilion, and the playground. It was a family-friendly event. Parents brought their children who played on the playground. Food and drink were set up inside the clubhouse's kitchen. The clubhouse and overall grounds and facilities that I saw were modest. The shelter had string lighting lining the ceiling. The tables had a lot of what looked like dried-up paint/finger paint on them, presumably from kids' activities. It makes sense since the playground was right next to us. Also nearby was a bunch of bamboo which made for a good backdrop for group photos. During our Saturday afternoon visit, I saw people playing beach volleyball and the pool(s) looked busy. The Farm is located east of UNC campus, not far from the Chapel Hill-Durham border. It's off 54, accessible via Barbee Chapel Rd, just past UNC Finley Golf Course. It's due south from the Rizzo Center (south side of 54).
