This pool was closed last year, and it’s closing for the season tomorrow, so I had to get in after Aqua Zumba. Has a nice tot area, but no steps, cool water, and old-fashioned, but fully functional gendered restrooms with stalls.
Lots of posted rules, luckily they weren’t enforcing the bit about goggles, but apparently they are enforcing the swimsuit rule, because someone left their crotch sticker from a new swimsuit in a bathroom stall

JULY 19, 2024
Pool Finder on the Recreation Department website indicates that the pool was closed for repairs, but I didn’t see any signs of life at this rec center at all.
Their Facebook page has posts indicating that the center will be open as of July 1 but that the fields are being rebuilt. To be fair, I did not try the front door, so there is that.
Lots of construction going on (though no signage indicating plans or anything else), similar transitional state to Vare Pool with an L-shape that looks like 2 to 5 feet with ladders, but it’s hard to tell since I can’t see the side of the pool directly adjacent to the wall.
Outside of the Cohocksink Rec Center reminds me of the walls at Kendrick Pool in Roxborough

Empty pool in the distance; it is impossible to get closer without breaking the law. 
Nice to see that at least some of the buildings in this neighborhood are being rehabbed and rebuilt rather than destroyed with ugly boxes.
