Swimming Pools in Appleton
Erb Pool, Appleton
Erb Pool is not far from Downtown Appleton and was completely rebuilt in 2018 along with extensive playground updates. There are lots of Adirondack chairs and loungers for when you’re not in the pool as well as grassy areas to spread out a blanket or towel. The zero-depth play area, leisure pool, full-size swimming pool, and twisty slides make this pool a great destination for families with kids of various ages.
Parking can get a little dicey at peak times, so be prepared to walk a block or more. There’s a lot of parking on the street aside from the parking lots. If you arrive at opening, expect to wait in a line on nice days, if you have a season pass, it goes a lot faster though!
GVK Pro-Pool Fan Tip: Appleton residents can buy a discounted year pass for the outdoor and indoor pools until May each year.
