Wilson Park Pool

"I recently had the pleasure of visiting Wilson Park Pool in Fayetteville, AR, and I must say that it provided a delightful swimming experience. The pool offered a unique blend of features that made my visit truly enjoyable. One of the standout features of Wilson Park Pool is the presence of a shaded area. This is a fantastic addition, as it allows visitors to escape the direct sun while still enjoying the invigorating waters. It's a thoughtful inclusion that caters to those who prefer a cooler and more comfortable swimming experience, especially on scorching summer days. Another aspect that sets Wilson Park Pool apart is its accommodating policy during breaks. While many pools require all swimmers to exit the pool area during these intervals, Wilson Park Pool is refreshingly different. If you're 18 or older, you're allowed to continue enjoying the pool during these breaks. This provides a convenient and hassle-free experience, ensuring that you can maximize your time in the water without disruptions. Compared to other pools in the Northwest Arkansas (NWA) region, Wilson Park Pool stands out in terms of its overall experience. The pool maintains a clean and well-maintained environment, which adds to the positive impression. The staff members are friendly and attentive, ensuring a safe and enjoyable atmosphere for all visitors. While Wilson Park Pool offers a fantastic swimming experience, there are a couple of areas where it could further enhance its appeal. First, expanding the range of amenities, such as adding better water slides or revamping the kiddie area pool, would provide additional fun for visitors of all ages. Secondly, increasing the seating capacity around the pool area would be beneficial to accommodate larger crowds during peak times. Overall, Wilson Park Pool in Fayetteville, AR, offers a refreshing and enjoyable swimming experience. The inclusion of a shaded area provides respite from the sun, and the policy allowing adults to remain in the pool during breaks is a notable convenience. Compared to other pools in the NWA region, Wilson Park Pool maintains high standards in cleanliness and customer service. While some additions and improvements could enhance its appeal even further, the pool remains a wonderful place to beat the heat and enjoy a relaxing day in the water."

"Generally pretty busy. There are a couple tables you can reserve for birthday parties or whatever there are always lifeguards on duty. You cannot eat in the pool area I believe the rule is eat or drink but I’ve had a water while seated near the pool and have seen others with beverages as well. There is an area near the concession area to eat. All in all it is reasonably priced swimming"

"Had it not been for one of the lifeguards really doing her job a little girl would have lost her life yesterday... We were 2 ft from her and had no idea she was drowning, but your lifeguard knew right away and jumped in to save her. Had the lifeguard not been paying attention or not seen it for another 1 min that day would have ended very differently. Thank you Wilson park lifeguards for keeping your eyes on all our kiddos."

"Wilson Park Pool takes me back to my childhood. The water is clean and cool. The pool area is nice and set around nature. This is an awesome place to louge and spend the summer!"

"Great group of swim instructors last year but this summer was so very sad. There were only 3 kids in the swim class but, after one starter question on Day 1, my kid was left on the wall and ignored for the rest of the lesson. It is always a 50-50 if you get someone that actually cares to teach all the students enrolled. I don't know what they pay their staff but, given what we all pay, they should pay better and get more instructors that care to teach. Admittedly, last year was awesome but the variability is a huge issue and an issue for them to deal with that (at the same time) just hurts kids. Not going back but appreciative for the 2021 staff!"
