Address says Torresdale, but the pool entrance is on Devereaux Avenue, as is the rec center building. A sign indicates cameras were installed two mayoral administrations ago.
Small polygonal pool (rectangle plus tot section off to one side), populated with children from the rec center summer camp and other folks of all ages.
Shower right at the gates. Strollers and bicycles must be kept outside the gate but personal belongings, towels, etc., are allowed in the pool area.
Rec center has men’s room and women’s room but no accessible stalls.
