Berkeley Heights Community Pool at the YMCA

"A little disappointed this 2023 pool season. Could be from Summit YMCA construction and extra guests or just busy as usual but to my regret the pool has been unkept and turning green along the bottom. Clumps of debris in the deep end. Broken umbrellas and broken chairs. Let’s not forget numerous bandaids in the water. I understand camps use the facility which is great for our children but when it gets closer to ending, the pool heater and vacuuming of the pool seem to cease. We have 2 weeks left of pool season and limited umbrella and limited cleaning should not be in effect until the actual close date. It sends the wrong message…"

"This is nice. We usually go late afternoon but before the commuters and it’s busy but not crazy. The equipment is well maintained and the staff is nice. I like this location better than a couple others that I’ve been to in the area."

"New community. Very big on pickleball. Large weight training on 2nd floor. 2023, $$20 day pass, 40 for week, but only 80 monthly membership Teen focus groups"

"Four stars for the quality of the pool itself and its staff. One star for the community aspect. It's a great pool for a competition/swimming contest, but it's been made uncomfortable for families. No grass (just a sliver), no trees, no shade, no slide, no games, no food. Concrete galore. The parking lot is badly designed/dangerous. Narrow two-way lanes, sharp corners you can't make, no safe drop-off point for kids. The old pool, torn down around 2018, was a centerpiece for the community, where young families met and kids made new friends. It's really a crying shame, and Covid is not even to blame... Tip: Parking in the big lot to the left of the Y is your safest bet."

"Great water slide, lots of shady places to chill."
