Garden Hills Pool

I have such fond memories of this pool from the summer before we joined the country club. The pool — the people — the ice cream truck that came by like clockwork every afternoon!
And now that I live in Peachtree Hills and work in Buckhead, I often cut through back streets between my office at Peachtree and Pharr to my apt. This often means driving by the Garden Hills pool, and this time of year, it’s so full of life and fun! I can’t wait til my next Sat off (or Sun!) where I can go relax and enjoy the pleasant neighborhood pool that’s still going strong after all these years!
Great for kid– and people-​watching (there’s always some kind of ball game going on in the lot next to the pool) and a very supportive neighborhood presence. Wonder if they allow dogs. ..

The daughters 25^th birthday party was held at the pool.
I don’t think that I’ve ever been treated so nicely by an establishment similar to this one. Normally when you plan a party at some establishment there’s a list of do and don’t a mile long, they want you to leave a deposit out of this world, and you still aren’t sure that they want your business.
Well not so with GHPP. I went over to view the pool/​party area with Nick, and I knew upon meeting him that this was going to be a easy and smooth party planning experience. He showed me the area, added us to the calendar, and told me there weren’t really any rules.
My biggest concern at the time was alcohol. He told me that we could bring all the liquor we wanted as long as it was in plastic bottles or cans. Another issue was food, and Nick told me that we could bring whatever food we like, but they also sold water, hot dogs and other snacks.
We chose our spot and even though it seem like the flies tried to take over our food, it was a very shaded part of the pool area, and away from the regular folks.
In the end, EVERYONE left the pool happy, and ready to go back to GHPP again. It truly was a great spot for having a pool party without all the hassles that some of the bigger establishments and hotels try and put you through.
The pool has several depths, and there was even one lane set up for those that wanted to exercise and not just jump in with those of us that don’t normally have a pool at our disposal.
