  • "A must, Must, MUST!!! I came here once many moons ago as a young teenager but I honestly don’t recall it being this Awesome and Beautiful! The City of San Antonio has done a GREAT Job with this public pool location; it definitely should be the poster-child for other pools! Great Sitting Spaces surrounding the entire pool which is about 2-3 football fields in length; the pool offers tons of shade with all the beautiful trees that surround the pool area within the pool gates; you get the standard free Access and good customer service at the Entrance; the Lifeguards are fairly Friendly and will engage you if spoken to; and the overall park offers a Wonderful Park Experience to include the San Pedro Playhouse (go see Grease!)! But I can’t say enough about the Pool’s Wonderfulness—it’s so Grand; so Spacious; so Accommodating; and so much more can be offered (like food or vending options or even music or a retail store) if the City is willing!

The San Pedro Springs in San Antonio Texas was named by Fathers Olivares & Espinosa while on an Exhibition of Spanish owned Texas on April 13 of 1709. Previously Indian land the San Pedro Park (where the Headwaters of the Spring begins) was dedicated in 1729 by King Philip of Spain. The Park is just over 46 acres (18.6 hectares). It is also the 2nd Oldest Municipal Park in the United States. Do come and visit San Antonio, perhaps the most Européen City in the USA. This territory has been "Claimed" (owned?) by 6 different countries including Texas itself (being its Own Country for several years at one time) thus "The 6 Flags of Texas" ❗❗❗ Interestingly, the San Pedro Springs flows through downtown San Antonio but has NO relations with the Highly Touted and Famed "Riverwalk" that is the San Antonio River! A current and nearly finished project will Enhance the San Pedro Springs from its Headwaters, here at the Park, to Possibly form a 2nd "Riverwalk" . Keep Looking for Those Plans!

Such an intensely planned, delightful park. Noticed two missing plants from a planter & was reminded the crime rate is higher in this town than my hometown of BeaumontTexas.gov. These towns are first and second highest crime rates in the state. Odd distinctions. San Antonio is 1,000 times more beautiful. Many historic buildings remain in San Antonio’s downtown. These buildings pre-date “code” and are appreciated as part of the heritage. I’ve never felt threatened. A few pan handlers, not too bad. All this comes into play largely because our city likes to destroy historic & old structures. They even tore out the prettiest newly constructed esplanade / park & replaced it with something mediocre at best. My hometown lacks beauty & wonder. Perhaps, that’s why travel is so enchanting. Thank You City Manager & your Council of Minions (save one) for leaving our town drab with all the boring air conditioned public buildings. San Pedro Springs Park is mind boggling.

  • Alex Ruiz

Pool area. 1pm to 8pm summer hours. Water and fruit Only. (Idk why) can bring in chairs. Lots of shade Recommend bringing own trash bag staff seems offended if asked any questions.
Playground
2 playgrounds in the same area 1 for bigger kids and another for smaller ones. They do have swings however it's about a 5m to 10m walk from the playground. Also with all the trees and shade it baffles my mind why they have the playground and swings with no shade.
Restrooms
Do not allow your children alone in the restrooms a lot of homeless people lingering around the restrooms.
Dog-friendliness
Dogs are welcomed but have to be leshed. However with that said if you have a pet that follows directions well and is well behaved I've seen other pet owners play catch and allow there furry friends run their energy off. Haven't seen anyone complain.
Picnic area
Plenty of tables to go around however the grills need a huge upgrade.

  • Roslyn Rosales

Quaint historic park nestled in the heart of the city. In the summer, the pool opens for swimming - there are also BBQ grills for public use. During the rest of the year, the tennis courts are available. If you're looking for entertainment, the Playhouse hosts a variety of shows throughout its season. San Pedro park is a great spot for walking and dog walking. My pup loves chasing squirrels and ducks. It's her favorite hobby! The park does attract some of the city's homeless population, so be weary if you go at night (I've also seen a couple of instances of people under the influence). It is also rumored that the park is haunted. I recently visited with my pup at night, and it definitely had a spooky feeling, unlike the vibe during the day. The park is the oldest in Texas, so take a stroll and check it out. It's my favorite little park in San Antonio.

  • Brandy Leonard

What a hidden gem of a park! As I walked the paths and read the signage I learned a lot about the natural artisanal springs that gave birth to the park. I also checked out the San Antonio parks website learning that it is the second oldest park in the United States! Had I known of it earlier we would have visited during the short swimming season. The park is well marked, lit, and is home to the Playhouse - a public theater. Also to the MacFarlin tennis center - I peeked at the courts and they are in great condition- likely because they are pay to play. Definitely want to snag some family pics here before we go. Speaking of family there is a playground but it appeared without shade - definitely a late afternoon or early morning would be better for exploring that with littles.

  • Salas Austin

The first impression is that this Park seems scary and left in a bad situation....like a homeless camp in every corner ..and not taken care of...everything is dry and not well cleaned or with poor maintenance. The only good thing there is the pool ..very large size, and the cleaning was ongoing because the water was green (I saw a maintenance team treating the water that day!! ). Opens just for few hours a day and for free access (1 to 7 pm) but it was to open from 5 to 8 pm the day I was there.. So, this location doesn't feel safe, and you must pay attention where you park your car too!! This is just my impression as first time visitor...it could be different in a different season or maybe during some days of the week.

  • Roland Martinez

Main attraction here is the large pool fed by natural springs and bordered on the pool perimeter by old and large cypress trees. A plaque on-site describes this as the second oldest park behind Boston Commons in Massachusetts. Also located on park grounds is a very nice tennis complex, the San Pedro playhouse and a public library. Overall a nice park located very close to downtown San Antonio.
Playground
Not much of a kids playground, what is there is outdated.
Restrooms
Restrooms located on either side of bath house building, usually used by the local homeless.
Picnic area
A few outdated picnic units, again usually occupied by the local homeless.

  • Cassie Martinez

My family and I enjoy SPSP, there’s so much to do if you love nature, swimming, and relaxing. Most of all, we enjoy the public swimming pool during the hot San Antonio summer months. Most of the public pools opened up June 17, 2023 this year, including SPSP and we had a blast on opening day! The park itself is beautiful and historical, with so much flora and fauna (insects) to see, huge trees with a lot of shading which are great for picnics, and awesome historical sites to learn about. We’ve also come here to observe the flora for my daughter’s science project. Overall, it’s a wonderful park to enjoy the outdoors and get to know the origins of the city.

  • J Monty

Overall, the pool is awesome during pool season. Don't let your kids wander off by themselves due to the constant homeless people and mental health and drug use in the area. So be careful with the left behind paraphernalia. The park has been cleaned up, but is still a work in progress. Visit the quaint little library if it's open. I'll add photos later.
Playground
Basic playground.
Restrooms
Restrooms are ok, but use caution due to the homeless population in the area.
Dog-friendliness
Plenty of room to walk your 's, but keep them on the leash.
Picnic area
Plenty of area to bbq and picnic.

  • Taylor Norris

I was so excited to visit this place with my CHILD, and it turned into a disappointing let down . As we walked, we passed several homeless people . Unfortunately, all trashes were full, overflowing, even tied up bags next to the trash . As we walked around the bend near the bathrooms , I see cop cars . There were homeless people hogging the bathroom areas and no one could approach because there were dogs barking at people that walked by . Water was green and icky . We ended up leaving and just spending our time at the library . I do not recommend for children or woman alone . Accurate pictures provided ☺️

  • Tricia Palomino

San Pedro Spring was a refreshing natural spring pool located in San Pedro Springs Park, San Antonio, TX. The temperature of the water was perfect for a hot Texas summer day and my kids and I enjoyed plenty of space to swim around the pool. The Park also hosts a 2-mile trail, tennis center, softball complex, gazebo and playhouse for events, and a sprawling mostly shady green space for picnicking and barbecues. The park and facilities were well-maintained and there are strict rules for the pool (such as no-floaties allowed.) Admission is free into the pool, except in the case of special events.

  • S S

Not a large park but grassy and flat with a pretty concrete 'river ' and gazebo. Very pretty landscaping like all the local places I visited. Parking is awful so don't count on being able to visit at all. Consider a scooter or bus. The pool was glorious but being free, packed from opening until closing. I managed to find a patch of bark chips to throw my towel down and swam in and around the multitudes of bodies at 7pm. I'd still visit again though if I was in the area. Large tennis complex is also on the grounds with more convenient parking, as well as the community theater.

  • Bexar 210

Absolutely love this spot, Lived down the street for 6 years and we are just discovering it...but now we wont miss a summer again! Clean, they have free lunches for the kids and the life guards are amazing, one young lady that wears a red suit while there, i Love her she goes above and beyond and takes her job seriously. Which means a lot given how many kids are running around at any time. Nice place too cool off with the family. You can take a cooler with water and fruit only No goggles that cover the nose Or large toys Not a bad compromise given its free of charge too go

  • Marlene Lopez

Came to visit the pool at 4:30p. I checked the hours, triple checked the website for any closures and it stated that the pool was open. I arrived on site, the restrooms were open, but the pool was closed, the office looked like there has been someone there, called the number and there was no answer. Waited 20 minutes and the pool never opened. If they're going to step out they need to put a sign up or notification. It's just annoying, we drove from out of town and just wanted to freshen up at the pool. And it was " closed."

  • Benjamin Samudio

It's a very nice park. There are lots of big trees and open fields. During the summer months the swimming pool is open to the public. It's a cool temperature. I come here for Camp Gladiator. The trainer and Campers are great! The trees provide plenty of shade when you work out. The work outs are intense, but achievable. I know its easier said than done. You get what you out into it. You just have to check it out for your self. (11-11-19) 42⁰. It's cold and the wind is blowing hard. Were her kicking butt

  • Herbert Hutchinson

This is a park that we should be excited about. So much history here. A part of the Kings Highway ( Spain ) and the El Camino Real. You can see Acequias once flowed here to move water along to the missions and community. You will also find some of the oldest trees in Texas dating from the time of King Phillips Spain and Missionary period. Not to mention the old bridges, walk ways, public pool, theater house and public library. It should be the center jewel of the central San Antonio community.

  • Lexie Layne

Amazingly stunning location, right and the heart of San Antonio. There is this one waterwall thing that is amazing for pictures. Only problem I had was the one drunk homeless guy who wouldn't shut up about Cuba and Nixon. I gave him some money and took a selfie with him then he left. Lots of shady open spaces to lay down a blanket and have a picnic. The breeze blows through the trees on a good day like the one I was there on and it is cool and comfortable even whenever it is 89° outside.

  • Justin Markham

It was really nice today.. It was a beautiful day . Sun was shining. Not too hot , not too cold . The water looked fresh . We saw a lizard . People were friendly. There was free parking .. we were able to take a bunch of pictures. They didn't have the fence around the pool area like they do in the summer .So it was wide open easy to maneuver. There were restrooms there . After words it was a short trip to Japanese Tea gardens. I'm glad I came here today ..,

  • Laura Laura

Beautiful big gorgeous trees and fun to see squirrels running around the park and delightful to witness two Egyptian geese! The smell of dead fish and trash littered in the small pockets of used to be running water was disgusting and shameful. Parks and recs can do better. I wish and hope the geese will stay but the USDA wildlife service has been allowed into the city's public parks by the CoSA, the USDA has been known to kill wildlife.

  • FLIPPER

In 1970 something I went to this park as a child on a school trip from South Texas [ZAPATA TEXAS] and never knew the name but I always asked people from San Antonio about this beautiful clear spring I remember swimming in as a child. And they told me I was crazy and there's no clear springs in S.A that it must have been Barton springs in Austin. I looked for it for many years.and I finally found it this past winter 47 years later.

  • Celia Reyes

Very dirty and full of homeless. The pictures online don’t show the tall ugly fence around the water. Also the online pictures show the water appearing natural but in person it looks like a large artificial blue swimming pool. I did not feel safe going there with young children with homeless throwing slurs at each other. I’m overall very disappointed and underwhelmed. There are also very few ramps for wheel chairs and strollers.

  • Susan Walters

Meh... it's alright. Nice place to cool off, and lifeguards are definitely vigilant. 1/2 the pool is 2'-3' and the circular end is 4'-5'. Lots of people there. Decent restrooms with changing areas and showers. There were a lot of places to sit if you're not swimming but not really in the shade. It was free, and there are lifeguards, but you can't really swim bc it's crowded and too shallow. Good for smaller kids.

  • Kimberly Lozano

Probably will not go here again the lifeguards are rude and tried getting mad at my 2 year old for getting in the water accidently when it was break time she's a toddler she was excited and we had just got there. Also the women's restroom are horribly Unsanitary I walled in and it smelled like the fish department at heb it was disgusting it was nice when I use to go 2 summers back but now I won't even go back

  • Trilliam C

Huge pool, plenty of space to swim around. Clean and clear water. Free admission to get in. All the surrounding trees allow plenty of shade around the edges of the pool. The only negative thing I have of this pool is that it only goes up to 5ft deep which may be completely fine to others but 5ft deep means there’s no diving or jumping into the pool whatsoever cause you’ll hit yourself at the bottom.

  • laura Chabera

This place has a lot of history it's a beautiful Park it's huge it has one of the biggest swimming pools public. Also has a walking trail a tennis court a fairy pond, and much more I love going to this park and you will too. Enjoy!

  • Stephanie Jones

I really love the history of this park. It is the oldest park in Texas and second oldest in the US. Unfortunately it has seen better days. There was alot of trash. The swimming pool was very dirty and smelled strongly of algae, as did many of the water features. The park seemed overall unkempt. Perhaps in the summer when the pool is kept up, it is better. It was still a nice little walk.

  • Tab Zo

We stumbled on this amazing park while exploring our city. There is always something new about San Antonio to see. San Pedro park was so clean, the water was cool, refreshing and crystal clear. The people here were friendly and the families were having lots of fun together. Check this place out if you wanna cool down or take that special someone on a random date.

  • Elizabeth Badillo (Babygirl)

Great park if it was taken care of the city would have an amazing park if they would put a committee to take care of it if they would bring events to the park it would make people want to come back if they would clean up the surroundings problems that has been having people would be there all the time enjoying the park again sad to see a park go to waste

  • Bernard Traphan

Established in 1630, San Pedro Springs Park is one of the oldest parks in the country (2nd oldest public park in US). One of the main attractions here is the huge pool, a welcome oasis for kids and adults alike during the hot summer months. Unfortunately, the pool is currently shut down for wading, but hopefully it will opened up in the near future.

  • Yusuf Seager

This place was a lot of fun! I think you're supposed to sign-in and it's free. It was real clear so I just walked in, it was pretty lax and laid back, other than the 20 lifeguards which is good! The water isn't real deep, and the pool is huge as you can see. Lot's of seating around the pool, and picnic areas surrounding the outside of the gate.

  • Marissa Moore

This park is so clean and big. Usually parks are dirty but this one was clean and my daughter was able to play without any issues. We had the time of our life at the park and playground. the walking trails were even better.
Playground
The playground was impeccable. It wasn't full of trash or anything. It was so clean that it was amazing.

  • Alan lechuga

Love walking my dogs and my little nephew here they always have fun. Kids play ground is a good size. The park has a big spacious 4ft deep pool great for kids of all ages. There also are plenty of grills to bbq and it also has a lot of tennis courts. All in all it's a nice park. Only draw back is the homeless that rome it at all hours

  • Bryan Reyna

Well this probably the best swimming /relaxing spots in san antonio and its free. The water is clean and theres plenty of shade. Came on a 100 degree Sunday and expected a crowd but there was plenty of room. I expected not sanitary when i saw it was natural springs but its beautiful. Great place to bring the kids on a hot day.

  • nancy figueroa

Save your time and don’t come here not much to see. This place used to be beautiful and well taken care of but it’s run down. As the pictures are seen not a swimming place at all, homeless everywhere. Doesn’t feel safe. This place has lots of potential to bring tourist back but city isn’t keeping up with this place.

  • Agi Ro

Love the simplicity of this place! When it's packed or when it's empty, it's always a refreshing time beating the Texan heat here and it's FREE! I always like to set up camp under a tree not far from the pool on the other side when you walk in that way you're further from big families and can lay out peacefully.

  • Nicoleigh DeArman

This park is much bigger than it appears from the parking lot. There is a lot of parking. There's lots of walking paths and some picnic tables. There's a small playground. There are buildings that I don't know what they're for. I saw a tennis area. The pool was clean. It was beautiful, quiet, and peaceful.

  • Tracy Brayton

Stopped by to see if the pool was open. It was not. The park looks very different from 5 yrs ago when I was last there. Drought took ahold of it I guess. The restroom was as expected. I felt safe and enjoyed the look around. Four stars is because the posted times and ect are not correct/ updated. More

  • bua

Nice park with large beautiful trees. The pool is large and clean. 5 feet at the deepest. The pool area could use more benches. 1-8pm hours could be improved to open earlier. AUG 13 the pool closes. In SA the pool should be open to the public other than June- Aug being that the SA weather allows it.

  • Olga Parra

I wanted to like this place, but I was dissapointed, the natural spring pool needs a good cleaning, and the park as well. I thought there was going to be a lot of people because it was pretty hot, but not really, only a few people, there is plenty of parking but don't expect this park to be clean!

  • Brian Bruce

Absolutely gorgeous City Of San Antonio Park. It's Highly Recommended One & All--Locals & Visitors to Our Community--come to experience the calm earthly setting. Photos will follow soon. Thank you to Our: City Planners, Engineers & Visionaries for this evolving Public Work. Peace ✌️ Brian Bruce

  • catwaiidesu

Bring your own lounge chair their aren’t any available. Even though their may be a lot of people it wasn’t overwhelming (on a Sunday afternoon). Goes up to 4ish feet and water is clean. About Every hour everyone has to get out. But it doesn’t take away from the fun. Again this was on a Sunday.

  • Kevin

San Pedro Springs Park is great to get in a run, or just hang out and enjoy the outdoors. The views are great, and the atmosphere is fun with all the workout groups that hang out there every evening. The springs usually run year round. There is also a huge public pool at this park.

  • Mg 0

A quite lovely park for its layout, tress, landscaping and historic significance. Unfortunate is that it’s been let to fall to its rundown state, and it is somewhat overtaken by vagrants / homeless people. Creates a notable sense of discomfort and wariness for tax-paying visitors.

  • Sofia Soto

I love this park. Always go there to sit by the pool. And go swimming in the summer
Playground
Playground definitely. Nice
Restrooms
Restrooms not always opened. Or to not always maintained
Picnic area
Love cooking out. At least 2 a month

  • Lia Bussey

The pool is huge, offering plenty of space even when it’s busy. Definitely recommend bringing a blanket or chairs to set up in the grassy/shaded spots. You’re allowed to bring in water & fruit only! No other food. If you bring a cooler, they -will- check it.

  • Becca Beck

Very pretty pool and clean! I've only been here for 15mins and the lifeguard whistle has gone off way too many times. Many breaks and had to get out of pool, kids aren't allowed allowed to run nor toss a ball. You can only sit and doodle with their fingers.

  • Crystal M.

This place far exceeded my expectations. Definitely a great spot to cool off in this heat. Families brought coolers in with food and drinks. Saw others bring their own chairs as the seating is limited. Pics don’t do enough justice for this spring fed pool!

  • Edward Soriano

If you want to have a good time swimming in the shade, then stop by. You can take an ice chest but they are a little strict by what you can take in but it is a great way to celebrate a birthday. BBQ outside the fence and have the kids enjoy the pool

  • Johnny Jenkins

San Pedro Park has the biggest the biggest pool in San Antonio. And it is filled with natural spring water. Lots of fun good people and much respect. It is open 7 days a week from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The Lifeguards are very professional friendly.

  • Jeff Contreras

Very neat park to visit. It's especially popular during the summertime when it's really hot out. I have lived in San Antonio all my life and I never knew this place existed until recently. Have a picnic, take a dip in the springs or hunt Pokemon.

  • Kinh Nguyen

Beautiful park with big bald cypress trees, spring water , but it is lack of care. It became homeless camp. The park is now full of trashes, smell of urine and feces. San Antonio Park and Creation Dpt need to do better job to take care this gem

  • chris rhoades

The pool by its self is nice, located so close to downtown, perfect place for people with kids and the older people in the Cental area to get some relief during the day. The problem? The city keeps this thing open 2 months out of the year,

  • Omar Salvador Gallegos

This Spring waters are the best, the water temperature is fresh, is 4 feet deep, I heard that the city construct this pool so the spring goes true so this place is clean an very enjoyable but the best part of all of this is that is FREE!

  • Nishesh Singh

This place was big let down. The place itself is great, and it's free, which is great to escape the Texas heat. I am a man, and I felt uncomfortable with how some people were staring. I left it in 5 mins. On the north side of the pool,

  • valeen Tellez

We had a fun awesome time in the pool it was clean very big many life guard on duty not to mention we got to enjoy the in water Zumba dance. Many people of different ages joined. Thanks San Pedro pool we had a blast. Highly recommend

  • Melissa Martinez

Beautiful scenery in the morning. Caught this squirrel ️ resting in the shade. I was amazed he/she let me snap these photos as I got closer an 18 wheeler trucked passed and he ran up the tree, just had to share this experience …

  • Melissa Polizzi

This is a hidden gem in San Antonio! The pool is refreshing and FREE! They are pretty strict on rules though. ONLY fruit and water allowed, no floats, no water guns or toys. It's still a great place to relax in the heat of summer!

  • Jon Wagner (frostmute)

Do you like having a picnic with your kids and stopping to answer random people passing by that you do not, in fact, have a cigarette to spare... every ten minutes...? Boy, I do. 10/10 Would deny cigarette availability again.

  • Anna Shadix

Beautiful, old, quiet, majestic! There are so many cool old things to see here. Giant trees, old buildings, a grotto, commemorative plaques and a reflection pool that you can swim in, ancient springs and lovers and children.

  • Kyle Boun

Always enjoyed visiting this park. Something about the tall aged trees and spring feed water to the nice tennis center adjacent to the park. Location as well, just north of downtown makes this park a good choice to visit.

  • Irene Pack

This is a perfect place for families to gather. Nice shady areas for a great BBQ/picnic. Very clean and safe.

  • Matt in Christ Always

Could use signs for pet owners to pick up after their pets because they are really lazy and ignorant so they need reminders, especially near play ground. Filthy mess near there while playing with my babies. How sad

  • Oui C'est Moi ValE

Winding oak pathways, bubbling spring, matured oaks & trees everywhere-many oak limbs gow horizontally & offer shady seating! Courts, skate park, astounding beauty abounds. Love it!! I took these photos Nov. 2022.

  • Ashley Rodriguez

I was pleasantly surprised by this FREE public pool & park. It was clean, not too crowded, and a welcome respite in this scorching summer heat. However, they did make us all get for 15-minutes without explanation.

  • Carlos Mata

It's a great park. Beautiful scenery and a very large swimming pool that's free. Plenty of picnic tables and bbq pits. With a lot of shade. Stores Down the street. Just check it out you won't be upset

  • Lorraine S.R.

Beautiful park. Simply gorgeous. Cut the trip with my 1 yr old a little short due to the homeless people walking around every where. Which I didnt mind too much but then they started yelling . …

  • Marissa Gonzales

Beautiful park and pool, well kept. Be aware of your surroundings there are some current transients in the area. That's not anyone's fault it just is. Be safe and enjoy the park it's worth a visit.

  • Sara Wyatt

What a gorgeous park! We spoke to a nice gentleman who informed us that this is the 2nd oldest municipal park in the US. We loved all the trees and the small pools, a very nice and relaxing walk!

  • Adam Shadfan

Beautiful park with a great history and cultural significance. The clear blue water from the springs is gorgeous when actually flowing. Love walking around but wouldn't recommend after dark.

  • Rj Garcia / SATX reviews

First time coming out here Saturday with my girl for a nice picnic date. 10/10 would recommend. Very friendly people as well, some homeless people here and there but no issues. …

  • Juni Flrz

A great place for walking, biking, playing tennis, or running. There is a library on site and a drama theater. There is an area for skating and swimming during the summer months.

  • Brandon Silva

Theyre open from 1pm-8pm Wednesday through Monday. Water and fruit only. Bring your own chairs, if showing up around 3-4 bring an umbrella since most shaded spots will be taken

  • Monica rivera

Nice pool, but the hours listed are not accurate, it is Wednesday 26JUL23 and pool does not open until 1pm due to swimming lessons. I would call before you show up to the pool.

  • Arunothia Marappan

The park looked beautiful, the water didn't look good for a swim and there was no on swimming at the time we went, but it is definitely a wonderful spot for outdoor swimming!

  • eddie gutierrez

2nd oldest park is this place's claim to fame. Original sight of the "zoo". There's an active Theater and tennis courts. This place has a very strange and weird charm.

  • Juanita “Juanita the Realtor” Ortega

Discovered this little park today and fell in love with the fresh water spring and perfect balance of open spaces, shade, walking paths and seating areas. So pretty!!

  • Michael J

So peaceful and family-friendly and dog friendly too. The pool, theater, and library are close to the colleges and universities. Very beautiful places for meditation

  • April McKnight

We loved the pool. Would give 5 stars if they opened before 1 . Great for toddler's because it's mostly very shallow. There is also nice shade from the trees. …

  • Heather Garcia

This is a great spot to spend a Sunday afternoon in the pool. It’s free for all the enjoy. Just note, you can only bring in fruit and water.. chairs are welcomed.
