Callison Recreation Pool 217 Clay Street, Forest City, NC 28043

"We go every summer. We always get a pool pass. Its a better deal then paying each time you go. There is 2 water slides, diving board, newer covered area with more tables and seats added. The pool is divided into 3 different parts. Pool goes from 1-2 foot on shallow side to 12 ft 6 inches on the deeper part. There are vending machines. And you can also bring food and drinks."

"This is a very nice public pool. There is a nice covered area with picnic tables, as well as vending machines. The prices are fair. We get a family pass every year, which is a great deal! With family swim, a family member has to chaperone the kids. With open swim, that isn't required. I would suggest not leaving your childcare up to the lifeguards, though, because on more than one occasion I've had to rescue small children who weren't being supervised. The water is always clean, and the chlorine isn't overpowering. This is a great place to go play with the family."

"Worst pool experience ever the kids jumping in and out every where, parents not watching lifeguards don't know what they are really looking at! My sister got kicked in the face twice and I finally make it to the deep end to swim and their are kids coming out of the slides go to the diving board side life guards take a break for 15 minutes nowhere to sit I'm disabled. Also I saw parents dropping kids off no super vision then coming back later to pick up cheap baby sitters I guess! Terrible place to swim! Wish their was a adults only pool in this town!"

"Scary place. Kids jumping in deep end and kids coming off diving board and 2 slides at same time. Also adults swimming across deep end too. Lifeguards not looking at kids. Kids hanging onto ladder in deep end while others trying to get out. No ruies enforced except the one that gets everybody out of pool for them to take breaks. It's a miracle no one has drowned! I am the grandmother and i had to watch my kids and everybody else!!"

"Love this pool! My family has been going there for years! The lifeguards are very well trained and very good at watching the pool and keeping everyone safe! Great atmosphere! I am so glad our community has a nice place for us to keep cool and enjoy during the summer! I can't wait for the pool to open for the season!"
