Palmerton Memorial Park — Attraction in Palmerton

The pools are big and very safe for the little ones, enough green area for everyone, staff is respectful, and very nice to all. Pizza is tasty and hot when it is served, bathrooms and showers clean and with hot water. We did my daughter birthday 🎂 and it was great. Sadly, no electricity can be used even though the gazebos have electricity outlets, so bring a manual pump for your balloons... overall great atmosphere and good staffing, a lot of lifesavers made our day more relaxed. I'm definitely going back... When reserving for an event, don't expect everything exactly like the contract indicated. Changes may occur without notice, and no coolers with ice allowed only personal, very small ones. Big gazebo is more than 50 footsteps away from pool, you will not be able to see your kids clearly, better the small near the kids pool and few feets away from the big, perfect to check your little ones and big ones too. No food allowed, so if you have children with a special diet, bring them something that you can leave in your car. The cafeteria area doesn't have anything healthy. Inflatables are allowed for kids and adults, too. The price of the gazebo includes entrance for 12 kids and 5 adults, pizza or hot dogs, and a drink. Water bottles are big, and entire cans are served. It's...

I really love that pool. Went there for the very first time one summer ago with my sister and friend, and I really had a great time. That pool was amazing! Years ago, my parents took away the pool, due to personal reasons, and I admit, I really miss the pool in my house. But now, whenever spring or summer comes, I am more than welcome to come there anytime. I miss the feeling of water in my face (and body) and I mostly miss jumping in the water. They even have a water slide, and boy, did I enjoy going there. Admittedly, despite being a small water park or whatever, I still believe (or felt) that this is much better than Wildwater Kingdom. I can guarantee that. Like any other place I go to, this one makes me feel alive because I haven't been in a pool in a very long time. And I would do it again, a thousand times (but in the summertime). Needless to say, I love the Palmerton pool. It's really nice and clean. And I consider this as one of my favorite...

DONT BRING KIDS IC YOU WANT THEM TO DROWN

I usually don’t leave reviews, but I felt this needed to be said. The Palmerton Pool could be a great place to spend the summer, but unfortunately, the lifeguards are a serious problem. They seem more interested in talking to each other, scrolling through their phones, or sunbathing than actually watching the pool.

I saw multiple kids roughhousing in the deep end and not once did any of the guards step in. At one point, a child was clearly struggling and it took way too long for anyone to even notice. It’s extremely unsettling when the people responsible for safety act like they don’t care.

Until the staff gets better training—or at the very least starts taking their jobs seriously—I won’t be returning. Safety should never...
