💬 What Visitors Say
- Visit on Sundays from 12-5pm during January-April for free admission as part of the Rondo Community Open Swim program, saving $8 per person
- Arrive during designated Tot Time or Sensory Friendly Swim Time (Thursdays) for a less crowded experience, especially ideal for toddlers and young children
- Plan to exit the water at least 15 minutes before closing time to allow adequate time for showering and changing, as staff may turn off lights to accelerate departures
- Bring your own snacks and drinks from home—the venue allows outside food at pool deck tables (avoiding glass, peanuts, and alcohol), since there are no on-site concessions
- The zero-depth entry pool and 2 slides are perfect for toddlers and young elementary-aged kids; parents can ride the slides with younger children before they build confidence to go alone
