South Orange Community Pool

Not fancy or wonderful but it’s ok, better than nothing, at least it’s very clean and I hope for the season 2026 the renovation will be done

Been coming here for 20 years and it just gets better every year. One of my favorite places in South Orange.

I swim laps, but there are three pools for toddlers through adults. There are trees for shade, a food stand, a low diving board, separate deep water area. Water is almost always warm, but not hot. The patrons and staff I've met have been pleasant.

Facilities are great and exactly what you would expect for a community pool. A kiddie pool, a medium size pool and a large pool with swimming lanes and even a dive tank with a regular diving board and a really high one. Food is ok, nothing great. But the town bids it out every year so consistency is never there.

A true gem in the crown of this town. Well run, bizarrely affordable, with concessions, swim lessons, everything you want from a community pool. If you need lobster rolls, etc. with your swimming experience there's a pool one town away, Tesla on over and swim there.
