Arcata Community Pool

Fun place to take your kids. The slide was open the entire time we were there this time! The bathroom (women's bathroom) doesn't get checked very often, so no toilet paper or anything to wipe off the water from the swimmers.

Best pool around and there's a decent sauna and hot tub. Most of the people are nice, respectful, and great to have a conversation with, but there are some odd ducks there also. Some appear to come from the local transient population and bring some mental health problems that can make for a disturbing experience in the hot tub and sauna area.

Fun pool the water slide is good for kids and I like how the staff make the kids do a swimming test although they should make a list of kids who passed the test so they should not have to every time but other then that very good pool

They say it's open so I drive an hour and 45 minutes just to be told they have parties or training. They tell me to wait and so I do until the time they've told me that the pool is open. I come back and it turns out they're busy again and now my day is all gone.
This is not the first time this has happened. I also speak for the Arcata community who are also upset. I ask that you explain well on your posters what time it is for the community and what time it is for training and party reservations. So that I do not waste gasoline, and my time just so that I come back home frustrated.

Life guards spend their time flirting and chatting with each other rather than guarding lives. Saw the girl with red hair reorganizing the pool weights, which meant her back was to the majority of the pool and she only glanced over her shoulder once every 50-60 seconds.

There are a lot of options here, shallow pool, 12 foot deep pool with short diving board, separate area for lap swimming, and even an indoor water slide.

There's also a small dry sauna and a hot tub outside on the private patio.

I enjoy the basketball hoop in the deep end.

I do not enjoy the hot tub, it's a strange design and not hot or large enough.

If you want a good hot tub go to Healthsport Arcata.

Needs some renovation and painting, shower rather cold and too low, water too cold for kids, so bring a wetsuit. You can swim your laps, that’s it.
