This is the place to swim during cold weather. Heated by a natural warm spring, this pool has been around since it was built by the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. It's not big, and there's not a lot of shade, but it's still popular, particularly with lap swimmers. Open 6am to 8pm during the week and noon to 7pm on weekends. During the week the pool is reserved from 6am to 8am for adult lap swimming and from 8am to 10am for swim team practice.
Admission is free.
