Riverdale Park East Outdoor Pool

Beautiful outdoor pool! It’s water tends to be warm because of the material they have in the pool. Great for kids as it has a shore for them to slowly get into the water

The outdoor pool is great...Now finding a real answer to whether it's open or not today May 15 2023 is a whole other story. I called 311 and they don't even know...

I enjoyed this pool, for years. Clean, cool water, plenty of shadow, comfortable chairs. But most important, warm, considerate, civilized people, both the patrons and the staff.When the pool reopened after repairs, I rushed to go back there. But it turned out to be the most hurtful, humiliating experience in my life in any public place, in any country.I went to relax. Instead, I found myself in a war zone. Everything was so disorganized, disrespectful, stressful, it was bound bring out the worst in some pool patrons, and cause conflicts.An employee at the main entrance did not even look at people, no 'hello' or 'goodbye'. Irritated women bickering in the change room. Did not they enjoy the pool?A naked lady blocked the entrance near the showers, drying her body, others could not pass through the corridor. Then, a female was running from shower to shower, bumping into passers-by.There was only very cold water in all showers. But the pool deck was so hot, it was painful to walk. So people went to the pool area without showering, wearing shoes. No more swimming hygiene?Main entrance to the pool was closed with a yellow ribbon. A group of men was chatting near the pool ladder, blocking the access.Swimming pool overcrowded, warm water and hot deck made it feel like a sauna. Burning sensation in my eyes, nose, throat. I never had chlorine allergy before, in any other pool. Some patrons were swimming by, pushing me, like I was not there.Where is the shadow? Scorching sun everywhere, so people squeezed together under thorny bushes. I tried to sit under a tree. But young men jumped right in front of me, and took all spots.Where are the chairs? I saw one, and walked towards it, barefoot on the hot concrete. But a young woman ran faster, and carried that chair away for herself. Other chairs stood empty for a long time, but their users would not let anyone sit down.There were vulnerable people, women with babies, disabled, aging people exhausted from heat... Life guards did not seem to care.First thing that the tourists mention is how good Canadian people are! Kind, considerate, polite, gentle, humane... Indeed, torontonians rush to help others, to offer seats, with a warm, friendly smile. I see it in every public place, including the TTC. This pool is the only exception that proves this rule.

Love this pool!!! Use to go as a child now I bring my kids. Good size outdoor pool, Great areas for sunbathing and the water slide is fun for all ages. No diving allowed, but definitely worth the trip to get there. Great way to cool off on a hot day.

Great local pool. The change rooms need a revamp. I've gone numerous times this summer, but I've never seen the slide open. Its less crowded than other pools. There is a grassy patch to suntan and hang out.

This place is great! Huge outdoor pool with a splash pad, water slide, separate area for children. There are roped off lanes for those looking to get some exercise. I've only been a few times but there has always been at least five lifeguards on duty. Surrounding the pool there is a grassy space for those looking to catch some rays or chill out and read. Change rooms are spacious and clean, lockers available for $0.25. washroom, shower and drying facilities too. It wasn't very busy during my visits and the water was the perfect temperature. Dance Parties" breakout throughout the day with family friendly music through the outdoor speakers and lifeguards showing off their dance moves. Great place for kids

Great outdoor pool that can get VERY busy on hot summer days. Unfortunately the areas that are good for wee ones was closed for repairs.

Very poorly done. I've come twice, once reserved and then drop-off line went in first, so what's the point of reserving? Then I come second time in drop-off. But apparently you can reserve drop-off???? So drop-off line can't go in. Then they just locked the door and refused to talk to the people in the line. Everyone was asking and they avoided telling people the pool is full. We're frustrated, we just want to swim. People, please don't come here. Drop-off is first come first serve. So if we're here in line waiting, they didn't take one person from drop-in. Everyone is very upset. Sunday June 27, 2021 at 3:13 p.m.

Awesome place to get a tan, enjoy the warm weather in the summer and and a decent lawn area to lay on
