Candler Park Pool 1500 McLendon Avenue Northeast, Atlanta, GA 30307

"It's okay. We used it one day and it was decently clean though some of the guests were strange people. Or maybe we were the strange ones. Definitely not one of the best kept pools in Atlanta. Probably the worst we have visited. We kept to ourselves and enjoyed the day. The oddest thing, we decided to visit again two days later and the pool was closed for the season. In early August, the hottest time of the summer, they closed for the season. Where I grew up in the northeast, we swam til October. So I'm not sure what the thinking is here but it appears all of Atlanta city pools close at the beginning of August. I simply see no reason for that as a taxpayer in a hot environment."

"Lot of improvements this year, super safe and clean, very nice and serious staff who makes the pool quiet and family friendly. So sad to see the pool closing so early, it was such the best spot!"

"Today was bitter sweet because tomorrow is the last day they will be open until next year in the summer. As always, great atmosphere, lifeguards on point, everyone was nice. The pool felt perfect by means of temperature, not too cold or too warm. The weather was great. Overall good day. If you can make it out here tomorrow, (July 30th, 2023), you will be happy you did. The water is so clean too in case your wondering. We will miss this pool. And, we will be back next year too."

"They need to update the hours. They close down the pool 30 minutes before closing time because apparently it takes 30 minutes to get people out the door. My kids would’ve had about 40 minutes to swim if it wasn’t for that. Instead they didn’t get to swim at all. Oh well, there’s better pools that close at the posted closing time and not early. Also, there’s a clear bag policy so only clear bags allowed."

"I originally posted a very negative review. Since I posted that review Candler Park pool has acquired a new staff. They have completely redone the entire pool. I took my daughter there the other day and it was by far the cleanest it has ever been. The lifeguards were more diligent and doing their jobs while allowing us to have the freedom to be able to enjoy our time. The very long breaks every 45 minutes have stopped and even the bathrooms were surprisingly clean. The Cameron Park pool has done a complete 180° turn around"
