Jonesboro Pool & Recreation Center — Local services in Jonesboro

It's really gone down hill in recent years. The prices are ridiculous. For 2 kids and 2 adults to get in it was 18 dollars and the concession prices weren't any better. Also, we got there at open and the pool wasn't even skimmed with the net yet and a bunch of bugs and clumps of hair was in there. I'd use this pool to go do some swimming for myself but bringing kids isn't a good idea to me. It's just not kid friendly enough and cost 14 bucks to get 2 nachos and 2 drinks. That's crazy and they dumped jalapenos on there without even asking if we wanted them. The prices aren't listed so you don't know the cost until they ring you up. The teenagers we got this year are actually kind of dismissive not rude or anything but they act like interacting with you will kill them. 🙄 It's summer for crying out loud, have fun at your lifeguard job a little....

First time I’ve ever been here and i went to the desk (where you pay to get in) to ask if i could go get my sunglasses. The guy said id have to pay to get back in so I said no that’s fine and went to walk back through to where all of my things are by the pool… and the boy working said “no you have to pay to get back in right now”. I literally went to just ask them a question and they were trying to make me pay to get back in when i hadn’t even left the building. Just trying to get more money from people!! Find new people to work here or something. He was super rude...

Despite allegedly being run by the city of Jonesboro, they evidently aren't professional enough to update their website. Says theyre open. They're not. Pool is supposed to be open until the 3rd weekend in August. Its not. Just go ahead and remove any info about this place from the website altogether since apparently users can't trust what it says. Don't bother calling them either. The number just goes to "the city of jonesboro" so you'll just be trapped in an answering tree for the foreseeable future. You could leave a message i guess if youre into...
