Municipal Pool

"A great pool especially if you have smaller children. They updated their policy to allow water inside- so ignore older reviews that complain about that. An additional update: you can pay with a card for both admission and for the snack bar. It’s a very refreshing and well-maintained pool with, from what I can tell, are very diligent and professional lifeguards and staff. If your kids are under 12/13 then definitely consider taking them here before heading to Brown’s. Brown’s is great, too, but for a calmer experience and for less crowds (but a smaller pool and more shallow water) then head to the Municipal Pool."

"Staff wasn’t bad, but the bees were horrible. It wasn’t even relaxing to sit because you get bombarded with bees. There were tons of little black bugs in the pool and all over everyone’s items. The concessions are way over priced!"

"10/10 there was a beyoncé concert in the sky perfect for us to watch i recommend although the slides where to fast for my kid so she went flying out the gate"

"pool was clean, my niece & her friends had a good time. Great place for younger kids since it seems half the pool is 2ft or less. concession stand prices are high. I get the lifeguards need to be focused but they could at least smile or look approachable. More shade areas would be nice or at least shade over the rock sitting."

"Something for everyone at this pool. Free on street parking outside. Admission is $5/person starting at age three. Shade is limited, but there are several seating options around the pool like chairs, covered picnic area, tiered bleacher like stone seating, lawn chairs for sunbathing, etc. Please note-NO OUTSIDE FOOD OR DRINKS ALLOWED INSIDE. For the budget conscious, eat before you go and use the free water fountain beside the shallow end near the men’s bathroom. Concessions are pricey and are located in the corner building between bathrooms with seating available. The shallow end starts with a zero depth entry and small fountains for young children to enjoy. There are many water features and divided areas in the shallow end and even some in-water seating. There are many entry/exit points around the pool. The deep end is only four feet deep. There are two large water slides (one open, one a closed tube) but no diving boards. There were 3-4 lifeguards stationed in and around the pool and all were attentive. The pool is conveniently located beside the Concho River which boasts a lovely river walk, is next door to the art museum and is around the corner from historic Fort Concho for ease for tourists. Highly recommend."
