Friendswood Swimming Pool

I went here for the opening weekend this summer, it was apparently free to get in that day bc of it so that was nice we walked right in. It still was not super crowded. It's a decent size pool, very clean with a shallow area for kids. Plenty of lifeguards. There were showers, bathrooms, picnic tables under shade and other sitting areas around the pool. Theres also like low key style snacks and drinks; concessions. Outside of the pools fence in the back is a little splash pad for the kids that is super cute but you have to walk out & around as its technically part of Stevenson Park. There are like swimming lanes I believe you would call it in the pool, it does have a deeper area of 5 feet max. There are swim lessons you can register for on the website & nonresidents of Friendswood can use t

You'd think it'd be perfect for your special needs kid because they can touch the bottom and it doesn't get deeper than 4ft anywhere.

Nice and clean, never too busy when we go after 7pm, a friendly and attentive staff, a dedicated swimming lane is also a plus. Our family loves coming here to cool off!

This is a fun place to swim! They have a pool basketball goal and basketballs available for playing. There is a small water slide for children 12 years and under. The depth of the pool does not exceed 4 feet. A roped off children's area has a gradient entry that starts at about 1 foot and goes to 4 feet. The pool has swim lanes roped off also. It is a large pool so there is plenty of room to play around. Lounge chairs are provided and one part of the pool sidelines are shaded. There is a free splash pad next to the pool. It costs $2 for residents and $4 for nonresidents to swim during open swim times. The pool is beside a park so there are lots of fun things to do like playgrounds, walking trails, tennis courts, sand volleyball, and basketball courts. Picnic tables and picnic shelters are
