I had the afternoon off, and decided to take my kids and one of their friends to the public pool at Tawasentha Park. We had a great time. The pool is open to residents of Guilderland. I needed to show my ID to an employee in the booth at the park’s main entrance, as well as the employee at the pool’s gate. Kids ages 6 – 14 get in for $ 1, adults are $ 3, and there’s no admission fee for seniors or little kids. The T-shaped pool is well maintained, and very clean, surrounded by a chain link fence and a nice lawn, where we put our towels and sandals. The pool was about 75 degrees, I’d say, perfect for a hot July afternoon. I stayed with my daughter in one of the shallow sections(the steps are nice and gradual), while my boys and their buddy enjoyed the diving board and deeper section. While we were there, I saw five or six lifeguards. They rotated shifts every twenty minutes or so, so that there were always two lifeguards on duty. The only eyesore was the remnants of a locker room /pool house fire, adjacent to the pool. I think it happened a year ago, but it doesn’t look like much cleanup has been done. An interim«changing trailer» has been brought in, but since we arrived already in our swimsuits, we didn’t need to use it. It’s great to know that this pool is available! We’ll definitely be heading back.
