Chastain Park Pool — Attraction in Atlanta

This is peak Neighborhood Public Pool: massive complex, diving board, lap lanes, and massive 3’ area for younger or inexperienced swimmers. We went here the entire summer, 2-3x per week, and never felt it was crowded –even on the hottest, off-school hours.

PEOPLE VISITING FOR THE FIRST TIME: CASH ONLY; $5 PER PERSON.

Four star rating because a few minor tweaks/updates would make this pool a perfect public pool option:

Technology to process mobile payment. The cash-only policy is fine, but the option for another contactless or card option would absolutely increase the number of transactions patrons are willing to spend. 3). Membership: DO THE MATH. We opted to not purchase a membership as we would never match the cost per visit expense of a membership so we paid out of pocket each time.

This community space offers three, THREE, different pools. Pretty dang impressive for a public club. There's a shallow pool for younger kids, a pool with lanes for swimming laps, and a deep pool with a diving board. Deck accommodations include chaise chairs and umbrellaed tables. The people who run the place are responsible and diligent about safety without coming across as rude. In the spring, they run a kids swimming program which competes against other area pools. You can get a season membership or pay per visit. A great escape from the heat regardless of your age. #Buckhead #Swimming...

As a developer I have to put up with a lot of stress on a daily basis as I have to be 100% concentrated and all the deadlines doesn't help either. Luckily for me I discovered that swimming is the perfect way to relieve all the stress I've built throughout the week. Chastian Park Athletic Club is my preferred pool as it is rarely crowded and the water is really clean. Furthermore the locker room and the showers are well maintained which really completes the positive experience.
