About Southwest Pool
It's tough finding a good outdoor pool, even in a city the size of Little Rock. Southwest Pool has some pretty good things going for it. They've got the basics covered with restrooms and a parking lot. I also like that they put in shade structures, because that afternoon sun can be brutal. If you plan on spending the day, a picnic area is a nice touch, and they even have concessions if you don't feel like packing a lunch. It's got a decent rating, 3.8 stars from 158 reviews, which tells me most people leave happy. For a community pool, that's generally a good sign. If you're in the Little Rock area and need a place to cool off outside, this one's worth a look.

Frequently asked questions
Is Southwest Pool good for families with young kids?
It's an outdoor pool with a picnic area and concessions, which usually makes it a decent spot for families. If they have a dedicated shallow area or splash pad, that would make it even better for little ones. You'd have to confirm that with the facility.
Is there parking at Southwest Pool?
Yes, they do have parking available. That makes getting there and unloading your stuff a lot easier than some other venues without dedicated lots.
Are there other outdoor pools in Little Rock if this one doesn't work out?
Little Rock has a few other public options. I'd check the Little Rock Parks and Recreation department site. They usually list all their aquatic facilities, including other outdoor pools in the area.
