South Pool

South pool, located at 921 S Shoshone St, is the mirror image of Lowell pool. Both of these pools have a distinctive Art Deco style that remind pool-goers of simpler times. The raised design is not stroller or handicapped friendly. Small locker rooms for men and women are located on the ground floor.

Simplicity is the name of the game at South pool, with an oval pool that ranges from 3 to 12 ft and one diving board. There is limited pool-side seating and deck area. There is a basketball hoop in the shallow end. Like Lowell, this pool is best suited to children over age 5 as they will be able to touch in the shallow end. All Boise pools have rules against floatation devices.

The staff are friendly and helpful, and the water is cold and refreshing. South pool is right next to South Junior High School. Parking is limited to street parking, as the pool doesn't have its own lot. South Pool is open M-Sat, 1:30 to 5:00 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. For admission prices, visit the Boise Parks and Recreation page here. Don't forget, August 24th is the last day Boise pools are open!
