Smokestone Park Irvine — Attraction in Irvine

I feel like a total Karen reviewing a community pool but it’s a Friday night and I’m hanging alone at home with my cat so LFG! Out of all the pools in Woodbridge, Smokestone gets top marks. This is because: 1) two jacuzzis. One is typically warmer than the other. 2) the pool has three lanes and even though ppl seem to swim in line with the lane markers rather than in the lane that they demarcate, it’s a perfect length and perfect depth. 3) no children. I don’t know if it’s cause of where in Woodbridge this pool is, because it’s a lane pool and deeper than average, or because there’s a no-kid sign im unaware of, but I’ve never seen kids here. I’m not anti-children by any means but when I’m doing laps, I want to devolve into a state of self-hatred-induced-solo-competition-shame and kids, with their innocent joy and general selfless goodness, take me out of that raged up headspace.

Anyway. This pool is great. Let’s race then cool down with the elderly in...

One of the only parks in the area set up for bocce ball and horsehoes; You'll have to bring your own equipment or check it out ahead of time from the WVA office.

Not much parking, you're better off walking over if you live...

Nice and clean.good shower. Much nicer spas than Timber Run pool and Spa. Spa jets work and all different hights. All clean working chairs. Timber run has very dated chairs and several are broken. Been there 3 years broken. 12/31/24 they're letting the Spa's go down hill. Half the jet screw in tips are missing. Shower soap...
