The Arcata Community Pool is a well-liked local facility that offers a variety of amenities for the community. With great prices for day passes, 10-visit passes, and monthly memberships, the pool is clean and provides what visitors expect from a community pool. The pool features a fun slide that is often open, though the bathrooms could use more frequent maintenance. While most of the people at the pool are nice and respectful, there have been some concerns about individuals from the local transient population who may have mental health issues, leading to occasional disturbances in the hot tub and sauna area. The pool also used to host open kayak sessions, which the paddling community would like to see reinstated. Overall, the Arcata Community Pool is a great resource for the local area, especially with the well-received children's swim lessons led by instructors like the wonderful Victoria.
Great prices whether you want to buy a day pass, 10x visit or monthly. It's clean and pretty much exactly what you ask for and expect from a community pool!

Fun place to take your kids. The slide was open the entire time we were there this time! The bathroom ( women's bathroom) doesn't get checked very often, so no toilet paper or anything to wipe off the water from the swimmers.

Fun pool the water slide is good for kids and I like how the staff make the kids do a swimming test although they should make a list of kids who passed the test so they should not have to every time but other then that very good pool
