   Pretty good pool and the facilities are reasonably neat and clean. The staff seemed really nice as well. I was able to find paid street parking right outside on Polk. The pool itself has pretty wide lanes, I didn’t mind sharing. The deeper end is 8ft deep.

   The slides weren’t working today but they looked fun! Today was crowded since they had a free day because of the heat. Usually it is $8/adult for a day pass.

   Bring your own towels, toiletries, and a lock for the locker if you need one.

   Nice and clean pool and locker room. Only one with water slides that opens about half hour after opening. Only one slide opens at a time. Younger kids must test in order to do the red drop slide. Yellow is open to all.

   This pool is colder than most indoor pools. But for $2 per kid, it’s well worth it. The slide is only open when they have staff available to supervise, only on some Saturdays.

   Lovely pool for lap swimming. Mornings are relatively quiet and the staff is friendly. Locker rooms are cleaned and spacious. Remember to bring your own lock ! Note that the pool entrance is at the back of the indicated Google maps address.

   This review is only for the pool and locker rooms; I haven’t used the rest of the facility.

   This is a nice public pool but why, why, why can’t Rec and Parks keep their pools warm enough so the kids lips don’t turn blue and they are shivering!? I really can’t understand this. So yep: this pool, like all Rec and Parks pool is cold. At least they have warm showers in the locker room.

   We’ve started one of our kids taking lessons here and we’re impressed with the quality of the classes. They keep the student to teacher ratio low and the teachers seem both well-trained to teach kids and motivated. Of course, it was nearly impossible to get into the classes. But if you get in, it’s great.

   My other big complaint is how little family/open swim time there is at this pool (like all Rec and Park pools). We have these great facilities in SF and they are so hard to use. Very frustrating that a city like SF can’t get their act together.

   The locker rooms are pretty good: clean and plenty of room. Could use a free more benches for sitting and putting clothes so you don’t have to put things on the often-wet floor. Love the bathing suit dryer too; works like a charm.
