Donner Aquatic Center is a City of Columbus outdoor pool with a 50-meter pool, water flume, in-pool climbing wall, and zero-depth entry area. It offers public swimming and American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim lessons for all ages and is home to the Donner Swim Club, functioning as an aquatic facility rather than a summer day camp.

Powered by GoogleSaid open, my daughter and I brought all of our stuff, got there and it was closed.
They really need to put a cover over the spectator area.
What happened to our beautiful public pool? Where’s the life in the “lifeguards”? Today, I watched one lifeguard mock blowing her brains out to another staff member — across the pool, in front of a bunch of children and parents. On top of that, my daughter slipped twice on mold growing in standing water near the concession stand. The lifeguards saw, looked at me, and then just stared straight ahead, luckily I waved down medical as they were walking from the concessions. This used to be a great place for families. Sadly, I don’t think we’ll be back as there's many more places close by we'll travel to. Not to mention price is higher than most all other places just to walk around on ripped pool lining and leaves / bugs floating in / around the pool.
We went to the PreK swim, Saturday 10-11. My son had an absolute blast! The water was a tad chilly but not too bad. Some sand in the deeper end of the pool but otherwise, very clean! Locker room and bathroom were very clean 👍 Will be back!
The pool is good size and has a great kids area, however the bottom of the pool gets very dirty as the summer goes on and does not appear to be cleaned. The life guards need a dress code. They should open the concession stand, I’ve never seen it open. It’s really awesome that they offer free swim from 5-6pm. I think all city pools should do that.
