Came here for a refinery event. I'm not sure if it is always free for locals but there was definitely no one guarding the entrance to check ids or charge. The pool is very tiny with minimal seating. They had four huge floaties in the pool that literally took up the entire thing. The bartenders were extremely slow and it wasn't even busy. The cocktail waking around was very good though and quick. It is a nice pool to hang out by but wouldn't pay to get in.
