2008-06-22 16:14:16 So does anyone know when this will actually reopen? Says 'June, 2008' above, but June is almost over. The city website says the grand opening has been postponed and has no specific date info. It's especially frustrating since it looks like it's been complete for a month now. —jackmon

2008-07-06 21:24:21 Just got back from the official grand reopening, although the pool actually opened a couple days ago. The pool appeared to be extremely crowded the past couple days, however it wasn't as packed today. We had a very good time, and got to see pictures of the renovations, which seem like a vast improvement over the previous incarnation (although we only moved to Davis this past year). For those wondering, entrance to the pool is $3.25 for those over 18, and slightly less for those younger. (A season pass is apparently also available.) Also of note is the new sprinkler play area, which although geared towards the younger kids, can easily be enjoyed by those of all ages. Highly recommended for anyone ready for a good time on these hot summer days. It's like having a water park right here in Davis! —hokusman

2008-07-13 19:37:27 Don't know if they changed the rules at Arroyo too, but the slide here requires you to be 4 feet tall to ride. At Arroyo the last 2 years, I could take my daughter in my lap or she could ride alone if she could demonstrate being able to swim 25 feet, regardless of her height. The bar is higher at the Manor slide even though the slide is much smaller. The city pools are generally much stricter than the Rec pool, which while I understand the fear of lawsuits and such, it's unfortunate. Also, the hours are weird. They change several times throughout the summer, and at times they're only open a couple of hours in a day. Why go to all the trouble of constructing such a nice pool if you're only going to be open 3:45 to 6pm on some days? Be sure to check the website for the hours before you get suited up; you might be disappointed. —MatthewPearson

2008-07-25 15:51:25 I was wondering if its possible to just swim laps by myself, Im 12, please answer Im desperate for someplace to swim laps. —KaylaRobinson

Hi Kayla, I vaguely recall the rules at the Rec Pool stating that kids younger than 7 had to be accompanied by an adult over 16. I might be mistaken about the age, but I remember thinking it was pretty lenient, so you might try calling them and asking. —MatthewPearson
