Jenkins City Pool

I had my boys birthday party here they loved it. Only complaint is the pool was heated that day and the water was cold. No one told us we had to pay extra to get the pool heated lol

My husband, son and I came to this pool because my husband stays in Dryden, VA for work but works in Norton, VA and was on call (he can’t be further than 30 minutes from Norton hospital while on call.) Upon parking and walking in we were told admission was free! We were a little confused but took the free admission! About 30 minutes after arriving to the pool we were approached by a gentlemen who came in the side gate by the slides with a cooler filled with water. He added ice to the cooler and said he would be placing it on a nearby bench and told us to help ourselves. We spoke with the man again later as he asked where we were from and it became a evident that he was the owner/manager of the pool. He explained that since the flooding in late July 2022 he had not been charging admission

My kids love this place and so do folks from neighboring communities who do not have a public pool. Located between Little Elkhorn lake and a great Mexican restaurant, the pool offers fresh pizza, drinks, chips, hot dogs, etc and admission is more than fair. Great life guards keep everyone safe and in check. There’s umbrellas, cabanas, lounging chairs, bathrooms, changing rooms, a designated smoking area away from the pool, two slides in the 5ft end and a small slide and splash pad for the youngsters. Great atmosphere and always enjoyable. The pool can also be reserved for parties, just check with one of the workers and they will fix you up

Man I am a full-grown adult and it kills me that this pool is only like so many feet deep. I'm dying to actually go swimming. And that is such a beautiful pool. I wish they'd expand it for adults too, But I'm glad the kiddos have something to do to. Safely.

Me and my family has went since it has opened and they have improved a lot but the only thing is. That I you go down the green slide you hit your head all the way down. And I have young kids and they need a teenager section so they can stop hitting then with there beach balls and we half to sneak food in.
