New Carrollton Pool is the best kept secret around. Love all the people, one big happy family!!! Why go on a Summer vacation when you can spend everyday at NCR!!! Adult Nights are a blast and love family fun days and our Dive In Movies. We now have a community garden too!! Love It, there's just so much to do and so many events happening all the time. Gotta go, going to the pool!!

No doubt! The New Carrollton Pool. That pool is the ultimate leisure pool. Wonderful for kids and awesome for adults. Many activities, cornhole tournaments, chili cook offs and packed adult nights. The pool also has multiple dive in movies with state of the art AV equipment and a 12 foot screen. All in house.

New Carrollton Pool is outstanding, and I should know since I've been going there since it opened back in the early 1960s!

Large grounds, biggest pool ("L" shaped 50 meter one way, 25 meter the other) in the area, fun & competitive swim team, lots to do, great people.

New Carrollton Pool was a great place to grow up. I have 4 boys of my own now and I commute from Columbia every weekend so that my children can experience everything I did. All the pool events are great times. I love the dive in movies probably more than my kids do.

Cheverly Swim and Racquet Club. The most beautiful grounds, hands down. Adult activities, kids activities and a real community feel.

Pointer Ridge Swim & Racquet! Relaxed, fun, family atmosphere. The facility boasts three pools - baby, family (with waterslide) and a lap pool (with diving boards), a playground, tennis courts, and a snack bar. Affordable swimming and tennis lessons for children, plus water aerobics classes for adults. Lots of planned potlucks, teen nights and other fun events. We lived in Bowie for over 5 years and barely knew anyone until we joined the pool and now we have all these friends right in our neighborhood. It's been worth every penny.
