Decent size pool. Parking is good and big, there is a small concession stand. A good amount of grass area to sit, playground available for small kids

Pool is nice and clean, management is terrible. I used this pool for several years for lifeguard training and every year something went wrong. From not honoring correct rents space, cancelling agreed upon days last minute (had a full class), and having no one show up to open the pool on the first day of a lifeguard certification class (had another full class). The weirdest part is there is no accountability or remorse. If you dare question why you’re getting screwed over, they act as if it’s your fault. I was told by several other instructors to avoid this pool and it’s clear why. If you’re looking to rent… don’t use this pool. This is the only pool in my 18 years of running lifeguard training that I tell everyone to avoid.

BFSC is my happy place. Fantastic lifeguard staff. Beautiful grounds. Clean pool. Family friends but fun for teens and adult events are hosted too. Highly recommend!

My wife and I have been very disappointed with the lack of response and overall communication from Ben Franklin. After being members there for a year, we relocated out of the area to pursue professional opportunities. This came very last minute and my wife and I, following the deadline of the membership application, had already purchased a season membership. If you don't know, the membership price is quite steep at $675 for a standard family. Additionally, you must pay an initial bond of $525, plus a work bond of $50. On top of that, you add a $35 application and you get to roughly $1,300 the first year you sign up. At the time of our decision to move, we had already paid the $675 for our second year membership. On their website, it is advertised that that one will be "entitled to a refund of your bond payment upon leaving the club". As of today (5 months later), we have yet to get our bond back. Given that our family left prior to being able to enjoy the pool for our 2nd summer, we asked for a refund of our membership fee as well which seemed pretty reasonable to us. Again, nothing to this day. It has now been over 5 month and we still haven't received any of our money back fro

Very nice pool surrounded by lush green grass. They have both a 1 meter and 3 meter spring board, 25 meter pool and baby pool. Ben Franklin sports a large and active swim and dive team. Various playground equipment and pavilions surround the area as well. To top it all off, the well stocked concession stand makes this a great treasure for a community pool.
