Richardson Pool

"This pool was clean and well if not overstaffed. We enjoyed ourselves very much. Bring the whole family. There is a right size pool for all of you."

"The life guards are attentive and they have them at every part of the pool. I’m so glad they had enough to open the slide. My niece was excited to try it out but we were told that if they didn’t have enough lifeguards, it wouldn’t open. If you have children under 18 years of age, they make you do a swim test in order to go to the deep end and to ride the slide. The kids have to tread water for a minute then swim to the other side of the pool(I think 25m…don’t quote me on that though). They give 2 separate wrist bands. One for slide and one for deep end. I believe the offer a long term(more than one day) band but I don’t know what the prerequisites are for it. They have a kiddie pool available. Some shaded areas with chairs. Life vests for all sizes. The bathrooms aren’t the cleanest but it’s a pool so I expected it. Love that it’s right on base and free!!! We brought in snacks and made a whole day of it. The girls had a blast!"

"Great pool for lap swimming. But there is no shower curtain in the female shower, and a boy around 6 or 7 years old, not accompanied by parent, will stare at you. Ask the staff, she said that’s pretty normal, parent will bring underage kid in. Hmmm, not feel comfortable"

"Still under COVID rules. They take some basic info for COVID tracing purposes so I feel comfortable about them taking precautions. Open at the top of the hour for 45 minutes of swimming then everyone needs to clear out to enable sanitizing and cleaning and reopens again at the top of the hour. Lots of room for lap swimming. Started going last week after work and have gone a couple times this week. Definitely will continue going - hopefully at least 3 times a week."

"Our favorite pool out of all the MWR pools. Great kid pool area, only 18" deep. Main pool is nice and starts at 4 ft deep. A few diving boards in the deep end and also a large water slide the drops off into the deep end. Usually 4-5 lifeguards in duty. Plenty of lawn chairs, patio benches, picnic benches and a pavilion for parties. Bathrooms have lockers, showers, restrooms and changing tables for babies. There is a nice privacy fence surrounding the perimeter for my privacy from the roads around. Hours are usually 11-1700 everyday but closed on Tuesdays. There is a snack bar with a good selection and good prices. They do except debit and credit card."
