The price was good, and the pool wasn’t too crowded mid week. So we was able to find nice seating. I’m sure the weekend is busy for the price, and hard to find seating. They seemed to be fully staffed on lifeguards, we seen them rotating often. The bathrooms was way cleaner than most public places I’ve been. Only concerns I had was no bag check at check in, the exit gate isn’t monitored frequently, and teens letting friends in free, and some lifeguards aren’t paying attention, and allowing adults to vape, adults to throw balls around the pool, kids to run around. Over all not horrible place, just needs some updating.
This place is a joke. My daughters, husband and I went there yesterday. First, the older lady that works the window is very very rude. We live in Allen, but she still charged us the non resident cost, it was still cheap but it's the principle.
We got there at 4 and they close at 6. She did not tell us that at 5 they have swim lessons that almost take the whole pool. They made everyone get to one side of the pool, which was 2 ft deep and a small area as it's for the little ones. What are we supposed to do in 2 ft of water? Another lady had rented a cabana for 2 hours,4-6 for a birthday a d they had to move as well. So we went to leave and I asked one of the young girls at window why they don't tell people about the lessons. She said, ummmm well we don't give refunds. So we were charged the wrong price, and only got to swim for 1 hour. Complete rip off, everyone they do that to, is a win win for them in getting the extra money, knowing you will be forced to leave or sit in 2 ft of water. I don’t recently this place or will go back.

Inexpensive swimming pool, good for families with small kids. No family shower room though.
Pool plaster is not the cleanest. Swim classes offered by the city of Allen provide some instruction and correction that drive improvement, but the engagement from instructors vary widely.
Some are focused on providing coaching while others chitchat with each other as much as they pay attention to the kids.

Public pool, so reasonably priced but also potential for rough and rowdy middle schoolers or teen boys, making it difficult for parents with small kids. Pool closes 15min before actual closing time or even sooner if someone throws up or contaminates the pool which can take awhile to clean up. But large shallow section for kids with kiddie slides as well as big slide and lanes for serious swimmers.
Nice family friendly sly pool. Went there for swim classes. Restrooms could be better. Instructors are okay.
It’s a smaller family friendly pool. There is a lap pool which is deeper. A cool slide, tiny kid area. Also quite a few picnic tables. It doesn’t matter what day you go, it doesn’t get very busy.
Definitely a fun place to come and relax also let the kids play and there is different kinds of activities to do here for everyone from young to old. Tennis courts, basketball courts, playground, swimming, football field and soccer field.
