Located in Central Park, the Gladstone Municipal Pool has been a summer tradition in the Northland since 1978. The Municipal Pool was renovated in 2007 providing visitors with many new amenities, an expanded concession area and pool deck, shade structures, deck furniture, and play features. In 2022 the bathhouse received all new fixtures and an addition of a party room! Also, the admission gate and office have been relocated to the west side of the building with a new entry off of Holmes Street.
