Graydon Pool

Summer season 2023 had the worst water quality!!! The water was rather "soupy" from algae, leaves and bird feathers. Apparently, they had to stop using a particular chemical to get rid of the algae without any type of alternative replacement, so it flourished. They also had to cut down on the amount of fresh water they could pump in. Hence, the poor water quality.

At one point, late in August when the summer was almost over, after numerous complaints, they finally "shocked" the water to clean it.

The manager is also a bit of a hothead, but the rest of the staff are very nice.

I’ve been here in Ridgewood for 10 years. I went there to get a daily pass. The girl she was an office. She was very mean to my son, and he special need. We purchase the passes every year except this year. The lady in the office she was very mean to us I will not recommend nobody to go there. She told my son to get out of her office.

The pool itself is OK if you live in Ridgewood or around the area it’s a great place to go for The day prices are reasonable the only not so great thing about This pool is that they only have the deep water high board open for an hour a day which is not that good considering you have to take the deep water test overall the pool is nice clean and a great place to go for the day

I love this pool! It’s a great space with multiple areas to enjoy (sand/beach, grass, shade). Water area is very large, with room enough for all to enjoy (babies, children, lap lanes, diving, deep water) without bumping into each other. Life guards are impressive; well trained, capable, and professional. Management is trained and attentive. Area is kept clean. People are friendly. I highly recommend Graydon Pool.

The "pool" is a large man made lake pond. It has an area for the little kids to play, one 3.5ft for older kids and adults, and one full 12ft deep adult swimming area, plus raft platforms and diving boards in the deep area. There's also a lap swimming section, a snack bar, and a playground nearby.

some kids know how to swim but they don't pass the test some audlts don't know how to swim but they can go in the deep water. i saw kids getting yelled at but they were having fun. The lifeguards have way too much power the tell kids to stop this and that when they are having fun. That happens to my kid she said that the lifeguards take the fun away i know they need lifeguards to help but my kid is not having fun. We bought food it was over priced and my kid said she didn't like it. The pool is a lake and it is dirty and that is gross birds poop in there. Your kid will have fun but not really fun!

Hometown feeling. Why drive 2 1/2 hours fight for a parking spot when you have something local ? There are 3 areas That you can relax. There is an area just for families and younger kids and toddlers alike. There is an area for deeper waters and adult area. Then there is a picnic area with picnic benches and a grill. There is also a snack bar that you can pick up burgers or chips and ice cream.
You can do a yearly subscription or a per visit charge. Everything is pretty much pristine and clean. Definitely no smoking.
This is a great place for families. I recommend it highly.
