Pacific Community Pool

Great Pool!
Awesome Staff!

I know we live in a litigious society, but pools and supposed to be fun and relaxing… this place makes a concious effort to make the experience the opposite of that. With signs telling you where to sit, stand, walk, and LOOK, and lifeguards who take their jobs way way too seriously, this place can be a nightmare of anxiety. They would probably say, «it’s all in the name of safety!», but there exists a line between valuing safety and allowing for a fun and relaxing experience free of megaphone demands every 5 seconds and signs directing every possible human action.
If you want to constantly have your fun and relaxation seized by 5 over-​zealous highschool lifeguards with megaphones who take their jobs too seriously, this is the place for you.

Went here today with my two young children and I was impressed with the staff. Check-​in guy was super friendly and the lifeguards are young but on it. In fact, they are stricter than other public pools. That’s a good thing since it’s filled with kids (and grandmas too) horsing around and having fun. They provided some water toys and the pool was super clean. I came here when it first opened and I haven’t noticed much wear and tear. It’s well-​maintained. There’s a nice playground right outside, a lady selling ice cream from a cart, and a huge library a few steps away. Great way to spend a summer afternoon.

So much better than the LA Pools. Well at least the Yosemite and Glassell Park pools. It has a huge shallow area that even many 2 – 3 year olds can stand in. That area does get crowded though, but there is also a huge area that is 4 feet deep and remains uncrowded. They let you have pool toys and even provide noodles. Lot’s of places to sit and eat… they allow you to bring food into the pool area.
It’s also cheaper and has longer swimming times, without shutting down in the middle.
Oh plus it’s newer and cleaner than the LA pools.
Most importantly it is very convenient to end your swim session with a trip to the nearby Golden Road. Seems obvious to me… dad deserves a nice beer after spending all that time in the pool.

If you are looking for swimming lessons for kids there’s no other better place than this pool. The staff is great, fantastic with kids, friendly and very helpful.
The bathrooms need some work — the tiled floors can’t be kept clean and not safe, also they need to redesign the space with creative solutions with hooks, shelves and makeshift changing areas.

This place is great! I come here everyday to play soccer from 4 – 6 pm in a really nice soccer field they put in not too long ago. I pay $ 25 dollars a year and I get to use all their facilities, the soccer field, pool table ping pong and pick up basketball games. Great deal, very we’ll kept!

The pool is decent, never super crowded. The locker rooms leave something to be desired, ie. no suit wringer /​dryer thing. But for the price, I suppose that’s to be expected.

I’ve got my weeee little one signed up for a summer of parent and me swim classes here and I couldn’t be happier with the facility. Yes, it is fairly new but the city has also done a nice job of maintaining the facility! The water has always been clear and comfortable. The showers and bathrooms are still nice too.
The staff is nice and helpful. There is plenty of seating and shade for folks who prefer life outta the water. Yup, it gets busy and yup parking can be tough to find — but it is Summer in the city and the price is pretty cheap.
Great spot to learn to swim or beat the heat!

Gonna take an adult swim lesson here. So excited! It looks most crowded between the end of one class and the beginning of next class. The number of parents and relatives standing or sitting around the pool is like twice the number of people who are actually swimming.

Great place to chill of during the summer. Low entry price, they offer swim and aqua aerobics classes. Parking is on the street so get here early. Also it gets crowded fast so if you want to work on your tan get here early to secure a spot.

If you love a tiny pool and being surrounded by screaming grade schoolers, then this is the place for you. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for a quiet place to swim and relax, then look elsewhere. At $ 3 it seems like a steal. We didn’t even go inside. Just looking in through the fence was all we needed to know this wasn’t for us.

Discovered this pool when I was searching for parks with water features for kids. When we got to the park we spied a brand new pool and after a bit of inquiry we found out they have open swim (see their calendar for times). We vowed to come back and come back we did… this past week during the heat wave. For $ 3 we swam for hours! I thought it would be crowded due to the heat but it wasn’t that full! I am closer to the Glassell Park public pool but my visit to this Glendale pool might have me visiting this location more often. Its a great facility! The water is warmer than the Glassell Parks pool, there are a ton of chairs to relax under shade, it’s not as crowded and there is a row of outdoor showers near the pool so you don’t have to run to the locker room to rinse off. Plus, they play music! The biggest plus for me and my toddler is that there is a big shallow area that is 2 feet deep, perfect for toddlers learning to swim! My daughter and I had a blast! The only negative (minus one star) was that the ladies bathroom/​changing room was on the dirty side (I skipped that part and went straight to the pool). Overall, very enjoyable! Oh yeah, plenty of free street parking.

Great pool! Water temp and quality is prefect. Not too much chlorine and love it. Best of all its always clean!

I cant believe I waited till now to have discovered this place! I took my 2 year old and 6 month old there today (Sunday) and they had such a good time! I think I especially loved the mini water park for toddlers with raining trees and mini fountains poppin up everywhere! The only complaint Id have is lack of shady tables and the overcrowded pools with sadly obese children and adults. Other than that. it was only $ 3 for me to get in and my kids were free! Will be back again a few times this week as its bloody hot here in the valley! WHEW!

The lap swim schedule is available online; Sunday afternoon lap swim is scheduled at the same time as recreation swim (11AM to 1PM). I don’t recommend going for a lap workout when rec swim is scheduled at the same time – there are only two lap lanes available. Maybe there are more lanes at other times, but you’d better call first to confirm.
Actually, I don’t think I’d recommend lap swimming here at all. The pool was very, very cloudy, so much so that I could barely see the other swimmers in my lane – very dangerous at the wall with flip turns. The water was also VERY hot (I was there from 11 to noon); too hot to really do a work out in. Combined with the cloudy water, I felt very claustrophobic and a bit suffocated under the water.
The lifeguards were all super friendly and helpful. There are kick boards and pull buoys available.
The locker rooms are not great. The floors are tile and very slippery. There are also wet and dirty, because everyone is walking through the water in their shoes. No mats to keep you from slipping. But, there are hooks on the wall, unlike Argue. No changing stalls, and only four little benches attached to the walls outside the showers. The set up was so bad, I didn’t even rinse off after the pool, just drove home for a shower.
I’m sure this place is fine for rec swim. But I do not recommend it for lap swimming, or for a shower afterward. $ 3 entry.
