    This pool is decent when it's open. Apparently they choose the hottest day of the year to watch our tax dollars and membership fees go to waste as they apparently can't keep staff there. When it's open, it's fairly busy but that's too be expected in a place like this. The lifeguards on duty are decent. We got to see them in action a couple times and the response is very good. Slide is fun and so is the high dive! Keep that around and we'll keep paying for memberships. Just please figure out your staffing issues.

    Very busy but a great pool. I'm sensitive to chlorine but this wasn't so bad. The slide and dicing boards were fun for my nephews. No complaints other than it being a bit crowded.

    When did Meade change their hours?!? Actually, I know it was this year…but whhhhhy?!!! One of the best parts about this pool was the fact that they opened at noon vs. Erb which opens at 1pm. Some parents try to get swim time in before a nap if they have young kids. I for one, loved that we could do morning swim lessons, pack a lunch and eat it outside-picnic style-after lessons, and within 30 mins the pool opened for the day! It’s difficult to love this pool more than Erb now, like I used to. I feel like that was the one thing Meade Pool had over Erb Pool. I’m bumming hard over this schedule change. Anyway, pool is decent. It has a slide and 2 diving boards and a mushroom water feature. Lifeguards are typically amazing. They find time to have fun with the younger kids and keep them safe. I’m pretty devastated over this time change. My bragging rights for this pool are going to be banished when people I have talked to figure out they are super early. *edit to add that this year the sand/play area is not open.

    Took our 5 year-old granddaughter to the pool. She had a great time in the pool and the slide.

    Great pool with a water side, diving boards, lockers, snack bar. Staff has always been friendly. The only slightly negative thing I would have to say is that I wish they were open later in the summer-they usually close for the year in early to mid August. Would be nice to enjoy it until Labor Day.

    Great pool! There is a large slide and diving boards. Nice selection of food, drinks, and cold treats at the snack bar. Can get extremely busy on hot weekend days. They do not have to many chairs so you will probably have to sit on the grass hill, where you will have a great view of the pool. There is a smallar park and sand volleyball court.

    Very Fun and Awesome experience. Friendly customer service especially in the back where they sell food and drinks. There was a ton of people during the pool breaks and they were very patient considering how busy it was. Thank you. I do wish there were more lawn chairs and tables to sit at also the vending machine ran out of water which was kind of bummer cause it was really hot.

    Appleton pools close early wasn’t aware of it. First time going to this pool they charge full price even if they close in 30 min. I did say something and they gave a coupon for us to return another day for longer swim, so they are understanding and compassionate. The kids had fun here, they stayed busy all day. The temperature of water was great, even I went in. We do wish they had longer hours. Lifeguards are great, watched the kids very closely.

    Older pool, but in fine condition. Smaller than erb, but you can go down the big slide with smaller children that can’t go alone. Also has high dive which erb does not.

    I have been to this pool with family on Feb9th, the chlorine content in the water is very high, my eyes got blurry/red and couldn’t see properly for hours because of that after I got out of the pool. I don’t recommend anyone going to this pool.

  • 4/5 Amanda k. 9 months ago on Google
