Lowell Pool

Built in 1953, Lowell Pool is located in Boise's North End at 1601 N. 28th St.  If you are looking for a place to cool off in a hurry, this is your pool. One long-time resident assured me that Lowell has the coldest water of all the pools in the city.

The pool is elevated, with men's and women's showers located on the ground level. It is well-fenced, so there is no danger of anyone falling from the top level. The water depth starts at 3 feet and increases to12 feet. Access to the water is via a ladder, not steps. There is a diving board in the deep end.

With a very small deck area, limited shade, and a deepish shallow end, I wouldn't recommend this pool for families with children under the age of 5. Generally popular with the neighborhood's teens and pre-teens, this pool serves that age group well. This pool is not handicap-accessible.

For adults (16+), the pool offers a lap swim session on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays from 5:05pm-6:35pm, and a Saturday lap swim from 12pm-1pm.


General pool hours are Monday-Saturday 1:30pm-5:00pm, and 7pm-9pm. Sunday hours are 1:30pm to 5:00pm. Lowell Pool is scheduled to close for the summer on Aug 12th, 2011.

If you enjoy a little bit of retro charm and nostalgic simplicity, Lowell Pool is just the place to travel back to the long days of your childhood summers.
