Belmont Hills Pool reviews
2 This location appears to be quite chaotic and problematic. I would advise against visiting for the following reasons:
Lack of Politeness: During my first visit, I witnessed a distressing scene where two women engaged in a heated quarrel in the water, right in front of their young children. This public display of aggression for —around 10-15 minutes—was disconcerting. It's disappointing to see adults unable to control their tempers in front of their own children.
Theft Incidents: Shockingly, I encountered instances where children blatantly stole my belongings while I was present by the pool. Even when I tried to intervene, they ignored my requests to stop. Such audacious acts of theft are unprecedented in my personal experience.
Chaotic Atmosphere: The environment is marked by chaos, with individuals, including kids and teenagers, recklessly leaping from the poolside into the water. This behavior poses a safety hazard, and I've observed my own child being narrowly missed by these jumpers on multiple occasions. The lack of consideration is evident as they splash water on others without a hint of sorry. What's worse, a child was covered by blood on his chin caused by one such jump, yet no one, not even the lifeguard, intervened to prevent such dangerous behavior.
Overcrowding: This place is astonishingly crowded, making it nearly impossible to swim comfortably. People can just stand in the water during peak hours. The incessant yelling and shouting from visitors add to the already overwhelming atmosphere.
Unsafe Activities: It's concerning to witness individuals playing frisbee in the crowded pool. The use of hard plastic frisbees in such a packed setting is a recipe for accidents. Even the lifeguards participate in this risky behavior of flying frisbees near the entrance. Navigating through the entrance becomes a challenge.
Should you choose to visit this location, be prepared for an experience defined by overcrowding, constant noise, quarreling, and unsafe activities. It's advisable to explore alternatives that prioritize safety for you and your family. Your well-being and enjoyment should be the top priorities when choosing a recreational destination.
Clean friendly pool. Local pool with lots of room. Nicely priced for family’s and daily prices.
