"I really did enjoy going there. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt however this pool is disgusting. Between the sludge of algae at the bottom of the pool and the dead decomposing bugs floating around everywhere on the surface of the pool, I wouldn’t recommend. I went off the diving board and unfortunately came into contact with the sludge. When I got up, I made a small comment to a friend of mine along the lines of “Ew, the sludge!” and a lifeguard said to the one next to her, “Well why doesn’t he just clean it then?”. I know it may be difficult to get to the bottom of the pool to clean it, however the passive aggressive comments were not needed. A friend of mine jumped off the diving board and got injured, unable to swim back, and the lifeguards made no attempt to get in the water to drag her out of the way. She was clearly in pain and unable to swim on her own and not only did they see that and do nothing, they did nothing to stop the next person on the diving board from simply jumping right on top of her. I’m sadly disappointed. This place has gone downhill."

"This is a wonderful place for a birthday party which we had or swimming or just want to hang out with family wonderful place. We had a birthday lunch plus the children swam all day. Nice and shady under a pavilion, so yes I would definitely use that for anybody who wants to gather together I gave it a five star."

"Caps is a very clean, nice place! Also, they love to bring more to the pool with different contests."

"Been visiting Chatsworth pool since I was little and now I take my little one! Besides the giant pool and the snack barn, they have a spacious pavillion for lunches and a playground!"

"Enjoyed the pool with my daughter and 4 of my grandchildren. This is the largest pool I have ever seen. The lifeguard staff seemed to keep everyone safe. The water appeared to be clean and not too much clorine. It was a wonderful day and did not break the bank."
