My boys really enjoy going to this pool. Life gaurds and staff are always friendly. I do suggest pre-registering so you don't have to wait in line to enter.

My daughter has played ball at driving park for 3 seasons now and we usually love their rec center and facilities. However, the pool employees are so unnecessarily rude. I have personally not had any sort of conflict or altercations with them, but I have seen the way they treat folks. I understand their job can be tough, and people can be difficult. Rules need to be followed but their approach is so wrong. They treat you like an inmate upon arrival, the way the girl checking people in spoke to people was just disrespectful and harsh. It's almost like they want to create a problem (mostly the young female staff, esp the check in girl). I know they have to be prepared to deal with things but their conflict resolution skills are more like conflicting inducing skills. There was one nice lady who checked our bags, it seemed like she was almost embarssed of her co workers and their behavior. If they spoke to my child the way they did some others kids there, there would be some real problems. They need to understand their role, and the people they are working with. I am all about enforcing the rules, having proper swimwear, checking our bags, but all of those things can be done without being disrespectful. I will drive the extra 10 minutes to go to dodge. It's sad that they act like this considering we only have a few pools even opening this summer. I overheard another mom talking about the vibe/atmosphere so I told her how great Dodge was. This community really needs this pool and need it to be a good positive enviorment so I hope they can get it together. For some of these kids this is as good as it gets, don't let these people ruin that for them. I just feel like they could create some real issues with their attitudes in this area especially. It just made me and my kid feel uneasy. Kudos to the few nice folks they did have, ya'll are the real MVP. Ps. If you are looking for consistency, THIS IS NOT YOUR PLACE. My 6 year old can go down the slide depending on which guard is at the top. You can't do that to a child, she was so embarssed and almost in tears after being turned away the 4th time she attempted to go down. The first 3 she was allowed but she must have shrunk on that 4th trip. I was on my way up when my daughter asked me not to say anything, probably best I didn't because it would have resulted in a dispute with these folks. They treat people like sh*t and I have no tolerance for it.

So it was my first time taking my grandkids and I had to stay with the baby my 10 year old grandson was play somewhere and his face has bruises almost like a grown man grabbed him be his face. He never came to tell me I was very upset with him . But I see his face and it was uncalled for. Smh

I believe driving park opens June 13th but I could be wrong. 10tv did a opening day list on their website and that is what I'm going off of answering your question.

How much do it cost to get in

Champagne Marshall | Jun 9, 2022

One dollar per person per swim period. There are 2 swim periods per day. So if you want to swim all day it would be $2 per person. (Swim periods are 1pm-4pm and 4:30pm-7:30pm.) You also need a leisure card, which is free, and you can get it at the rec center/pool the day you go. You can pay online for your swim periods, which is recommended because the line gets very long at the pool for people who just show up. And the pool has a capacity limit. So if you pay online you're good and wont get turned away. Hope this helps!

How much is it to get in??

You have to purchase a Leisure card for $1 per card (each person needs one unless they are under I believe 5 years old). Then after you have the card its .50 cents per person. The pools usually drop the .50 cent fee if its above 90° that day. I think the driving park pool does not open until June 13th. There is a full list available on the 10tv website. Some spray parks are open and dodge pool earlier in June. Check the Scioto Mile splash park. It could be open earlier.
