Richmond Park Pool 1101 Richmond Street Northwest, Grand Rapids, MI 49504

"Some of the teenagers & older children that come here are nothing but mean bully's with no respect or regard for others. And it seems that the lifeguards condone and allow them to get away with this type of behavior. Many of the kids they're allowing in are not being supervised by adults and aren't old enough to be left unattended in a pool all day. Instead of trying to be cool with the kids they need to set boundaries and enforce their rules and policies. Management definitely needs a different approach on how to deal with these situations rather than giving these kids a pass to think their actions are acceptable."

"The pool is very large and there's a big slide. The day was amazing! Some things to watch out for: Long wait!! The line can get long to get in, so be ready for that. I heard that some people were waiting 45 min. - 1hr. to get in. If you or your kids go out, you have to wait back in line to get back in. Also, the line for the slide stays pretty long. Also, bring your own chair. No water guns are allowed but they do allow water toys. Be respectful of the rules, the other swimmers, and the life guards, and you'll have a great time!"

"It is so fun going there and last year I always have a good Time but I recommend that there should also be a wave pool because then Richmond park will get more good reviews and all that ! You never disappoint me Richmond park And remember people have fun before it’s gone! Thank you Richmond park for making memories with me I will always remember to come every summer ☺️."

"An excellent pool. Well kept. A few more water features and shaded benches on the edges would be nice. Cheap! Lots of fun for the family. Bring cash for an ice cream treat. Check the pool capacity on the website."

"Amazing community/city swimming pool (within Richmond Park) in Grand Rapids! The slide and the 2 diving boards are great attraction for kids. The very large area for gently slopped kiddie splash/pool is great for little toddlers. There is plenty of poolside space to lay down beach towels or folding chairs. A several benches located along the fences all facing the pool as well as covered picnic tables within the perimeter of the pool. There were about 9 life guards (including 2 dedicated to the water slide) on active duty as well as supervisors and others circled the pool periodically. The pool has 5-min break every half an hour which also includes lifeguards position change. I believe this is a well adopted protocol of the public pool safety. I’d recommend to check their open swim hours before you head over (below is summer 2019). We had a good time being there for 3 hours and it wasn’t very crowded on Friday afternoon, but I’d imagine that the pool might be more crowded on hot days or weekends. I was surprised to see it opens only 12-4 on Sunday. I’d recommend this pool to anybody due to the safety & cleanliness through out the poolside. I think GR’s Parks & Recreation did a great job with 2013 Parks Millage and this pool shows the improvement. Open Swim Hours MONDAY 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm TUESDAY 1:00 pm - 7:00 pm WEDNESDAY 1:00 pm - 7:00 pm THURSDAY 1:00 pm - 7:00 pm FRIDAY 1:00 pm - 7:00 pm SATURDAY 1:00 pm - 7:00 pm SUNDAY 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm"
