| - This is a good outdoor swimming pool, with lots of lap lanes. In addition to the 13-lane (25 yards) lap pool, it has a diving well with 4 diving boards (two, 1-meter and two, 3-meter), 2 large water slides, beach-like "zero-depth" entry into a large play pool with a water playground, therapy pool, fitness room, grassy sections and multiple shaded areas for gatherings. This facility has kick-boards and pull-buoys available for public use. This facility can get busy due to the school across the street, the Boys and Girls Club next door, and the park on the other side with many extracurricular sports and events. The cost is $2 for Scottsdale residents and $3 for non-residents; I believe this goes up a bit in the 'winter' months to heat the pool (all City of Scottsdale pools do this). The staff is very nice, they have opened up lap lanes for me before if the lanes were really busy. I like swimming here in the evening, because the pool-house blocks the sun as it sets, so you aren't staring into the blaring sun if you are a backstroker.
