About East Poplar Pool
It's always good to see pools with high marks, and East Poplar Pool definitely fits that bill with a 5-star rating from what I've seen. Honestly, that's pretty rare for a public pool, even with only a few reviews. Being in Philadelphia, a city with over a million and a half people, finding a good spot to cool off is a big deal. Their hours are set up for afternoons and evenings during the week, from 2:00 to 8:30 PM, which is pretty standard for city pools. But they're closed on weekends, so keep that in mind if you're planning a trip. They're located at 840 N 8th St, which is pretty central. If you're in the area and looking for a weekday swim, it's worth checking out. Just give them a call at (215) 686-1786 if you have any questions.
