Portales City Swimming Pool 320 East 7th Street, Portales, NM 88130

"no shade, extremely expensive, inflated snack prices, just not a good experience"

"A 4 only because they don't have a snack stand. Maybe they will let me open one"

"Pros/Cons: Music played over loudspeaker/loudspeaker are the same ones from my childhood (80s). Snack bar/laughable selection and limited seating and no shade Diving well/no diving boards Shower area/super hot water and doesn't spray Lifeguards provided/mandatory pool Evacuation (break) should be handled differently. Tanning chairs provided/ limited and no shaded areas. * Create a padded floor area adjacent to dive pool (where dive board used to be). Raised areas (spring Board's)could easily and safely be incorporated. Would allow diving from safe padded area. * Cut entrance price by half and invest in a well stocked, wide variety snack bar. Soda machine, icee machine, nachos, hot dogs, fries. * Increase daily hours"

"We had a blast I just didn't like one of their employees told us to hurry up and leave when our time was up"

"NOT A SAFE PLACE FOR. CHILDREN.TERRIBLE... Lifeguards had no respect to patrons nor to their responsibility as a lifeguard. We reported them to the supervisor who claimed to "taken care of it." But when we looked at the lifeguards they would laugh amd make fun of us. At one point a child had a goat head lodged in its foot screaming in pain, the guard sat and watched as the parent walked over to help the child. We reported that there were cockroaches in the locker room. And a tampon in the pool. They held no regard as to what happend. And didnt care. NOT A SAFE PLACE FOR CHILDREN."
