University of Delaware Outdoor Pool 551 South College Avenue, Newark, DE 19716

"Love the size of the pool, and they have slides going into the water. Plenty of patio space to lounge."

"The pool is big, clean, and staff is attentive and helpful. We love the kiddie pool especially! It has many fountains and "splashers" with a graded entrance on one side and a small kid's slide. It's fenced off from the big pool so you don't have to worry about little guys taking off for deep water. They've got life jackets in kid and adult sizes if you need them. Main pool has water slides, lots of deck chairs, and huge umbrellas for shade. Absolutely worth the membership!"

"Close nice spot, would be better if they added more outdoor activities like table tennis ,tether ball , volleyball… things like that. Great icecream spot next to it also."

"It's a great facility with enough space for swimming and sunbathing, even at peak hours. Slides are short but fun, staff is kind, and fast food is good for the price. Make sure to take advantage of the free entrance if you're a UD student taking classes during the summer."

"My daughter loves this pool. It's big, there's always enough kids for an only child like her to find someone to play with, and the water slides and other features are fun. Pool toys and noodles are allowed and the pool offers life vests for those who want them. There is a secure area with zero entry and splash fun for little ones. As a parent, I love that there are so many chairs and shade areas that I can always find a seat in the shade. The pool and pool area are always very clean and well maintained. The lifeguards take their jobs seriously, here. They enforce common sense safety rules and seem vigilant. There is a snack bar with average food you'd expect for a place like this. There is seating both in and outside the pool deck for picnics and eating. The are also lockers on the pool deck for storing valuables. As a criticism, there are clean showers, toilets, and a changing area, but no privacy for changing. It is an open locker room style area without privacy dividers. Makes it difficult for parents with kids of opposite gender."
