After being a patron at Willamlane pool for over 30 years...i, as well as my family will never attend again! Nor would i recommend it for any family looking for a pool to attend with your family. I arrived with 6 children and three adults today and was refused entry into the pool when told there must be one adult for every two children (we were one kid over their so called rule and not to mention three of the kids were over 10 years old and fully capable of swimming on their own...three of them who had completed swim lessons through Willamalane). As a mother of three i have attended weekly rec swim with my three kids at Willamalane pool as a fun activity to keep my kids active. To be told today after going for over five years with my three kids that we were unable to go in was disappointing to say the least. For any single parents with families of three or more kids this is not the pool for you! So much for promoting families to exercise and get out and be active! In my 30 plus years of being a patron at many recreational swim pools I have never been told of...
Read moreOur first time going to Willamette Lane Swim Center was for their "Haunted Lagoon" before Halloween time. It was an absolute blast! They had an indoor haunted house, the haunted lagoon had scuba divers jumping up at you on a raft and witches on paddle boards splashing water at you while people pulled you from one side to the other, they had the kiddie pool set up for fishing rubber ducks, a water slide, two different sized diving boards, and the pool had a ramp going into it for people with disabilities!

I also feel like their pricing was on the upper end of the spectrum compared to other local pool. As much as I liked this one, it won't be my first choice to go due to the pricing.
This was a special event they put on that I went to, I don't have experience at this facility for just normal Swim...
Read moreBabies arr not allowed in the hot tub even with parents supervision and partnership. Huge bummer, but I do understand the reason why, it's just not something that I can part with. My baby loves to spend ten minutes (that's the limit that I provide to her, and I always join her..) and she loves to just relax in the large hot tub, like a big bath! It's her favorite thing and if this were allowed, which I know that it won't because too many other children don't have parental supervision like mine and it could pose a danger to the kids if they spend too long.... it's just a bummer. Everything else is absolutely beautiful! The pool is giant, the diving boards, the slides, all the facilities at this place are gorgeous!! If the hot tub is not ur favorite thing I would...
