Very relaxing, the staff is very courtesy to Veterans 🫡
Fort Dupont Outdoor Pool is located next to Ridge Road Community Center, outdoor Amenities Includes a Football Field, Baseball Field, Playground, Basketball Court and a Outdoor Swimming Pool. The ground and small parking lot was clean.
This pool was great! It was very clean and well kept, the staff were great, and there is a shaded lounge area out by the pool. Great pool for kids with a walk-in shallow end as well as two fountains for them to run through and stand under. We will definitely be going back!
The Staff Communicates Very Poorly With Each Other & Residents. I Called Before Going Up To The Pool & Was Given The Time Of 11:30 For The Pool Opening. At 11:15 I Went To The Rec Rang The Buzzer & Again Was Given A Time Of 11:30 For The Pool. I Literally Live 2 Minutes Walking Distance So I Went Home & Waited. I Walked Back Up To The Pool At 11:35 I Rang The Buzzer & The Same Voice That Told Me 11:30 Told Me To Walk Around The Building & The Pool Entrance Was On The Left. I Walked To The Pool Entrance & An Employee At The Pool Said The Pool Opened At 12. I Walked Back Around To The Front & At This Point I’m Irritated Af. It’s Almost 100 Degrees Outside & All Wanna Do Is Cool Down & Swim. I Rang The Buzzer Yet Again & Was Buzzed Into The Building. I Don’t Know If This Lady Was Head Of Staff Or What But I Explained To Her That I Was Told A Few Times That The Pool Opened At 11:30. She Was Like Who Told You That. I Told Her Whoever Answered The Doorbell & Whoever Answered The Phone Told Me 11:30. She Was Like Well We Open At 12. I No Longer Care To Entertain What Anyone Was Saying Anymore & I Walked Off. They Need To Get It Together. It’s Too Hot To Be Dealing With People That Dont Know What Time They’re Supposed To Be At Work
So I was fussing last week about the pool being closed...I'm here now and they are closing it for the day. A young lady had a seizure in the deep end of the pool and the life guards were on it. They brought her back to LIFE right in front of me. Thank you FT. DUPONT PARK lifeguards. While we were praying they were giving her CPR.
What started 35 plus years ago as a neighborhood pool for locals has transformed with support from the local government, donations and the community into a multi purpose recreation center.
A full transformation now includes an extensive outdoor play area, redesigned outdoor pool, sports complex for football, soccer, track, basketball courts, indoor gym, picnic benches, senior services, and more.
The response has been overwhelming with cars parked on Ridge Road for blocks in both directions. There is a strong police presence to assist with traffic when needed. Seniors gather with folding chairs, music and coolers to enjoy the wooded surroundings. Truly a hidden surprise with great support. The kids and teens love it to.

A little small, but pleasant. Hours to fo would be when it is less crowded because the pool is not big. However, when the children are not there it is definitely peaceful. They have a small parking lot, but street parking is free on the side of the building.
