About Gainesville Aquatic Center
When it's hot in Gainesville (and it usually is), having an outdoor pool can be a lifesaver. The Gainesville Aquatic Center is a good option. From the reviews I've seen, people really like it, giving it a 4.8 out of 5 stars from 58 reviews. That's pretty solid. They've got a specific kiddie pool, which is great for parents with younger kids. Plus, they have lap lanes for anyone wanting to get some exercise in. There are concessions if you need a snack and a picnic area too. Admission is $12 for adults and just $3 for kids. It sounds like a straightforward, community-focused pool without a lot of frills, but it gets the job done for beating the Florida heat. It's in a city of over 140,000 people, so it probably sees a good bit of use.
