Audubon Park Swimming Pool

This pool COULD be amazing. It’s in an historic and beautiful location, and it’s a very pretty space. That said, with the extremely limited time it’s open coupled with the useless employees that work there (aside from a lifeguard or two that actually care about their jobs), this pool leaves much to be desired. There is generally at any given time, not less than three «employees» sitting in folding chairs texting. When it opens in June, the place is pristine, but the dressing rooms and bathrooms are never cleaned, so as the previous poster mentioned, by August they smell like pee, are covered in refuse, and are generally unusable. The pool area is generally well-​maintained, however.
Verdict: Nice pool, but terrible dressing rooms/​bathrooms. Wear your bathing suit under your clothes and bypass the dressing area completely. Only go in the bathroom if it’s an emergency.

I concur with the prior poster that the pool is awesome in a lot of ways. However, by mid-​August, the place was trashed. The facilities had no running water: no showers, no sinks, and no flushing toilets. The toilets themselves were stuffed with all manner of refuse, and the dressing rooms reeked of urine. It’s too bad that a few feral New Orleanians wrecked the place for everyone.
