Sunnyside - Gus Ryder Outdoor Pool

It's Awesome and so refreshing!! I feel brand new!! Lots of fun ! And very professional and friendly staff here as well ! I am so revived after a amazing swim 🏊‍♂️

The pool is really clean, big, and warm. Some of the life guards that are beside the pool are very rude but the ones who let you come in the pool and. check you in are nice overall it is a very good pool with a good view and a beach but with some rude staffs.

Open now for swimming. Due to Covid no lockers or showers. Allowed to undress on deck or in change rooms. 2 lines outside. Very organized staff doing a great job. Heated pool.

Today was the first time we have ever saw at this pool. It’s location is amazing - and while in the pool you have magnificent views of Lake Ontario and the CN Tower. We took the #80 bus SB from Keele Station. It is only 7 minutes from the station to the stop right across from the pool. It was not packed, which was great but do be careful if all the cyclists and electric scooters, mopeds and electric skateboards and bikes with assists. They are going so fast and so many are not wearing helmets.... The Café behind the pool looked good but the limit of 4 to a table was not followed. If you are going there and have concerns due to health issues, I would wait just that little bit longer. There was a canoe/kayak rental in the same location.
The pool staff were friendly and organized. Do go early if you are on the booking system - if you haven’t shown up for your booked appointment by 5 minutes past the start time, it will be given to someone else. Be on time! Be prepared that people will stand at the fence and watch you - and even though they shouldn’t- they do take pictures. It was really rude!
Be advised that there are no lockers available at this time. (June 13, 2021) Come dressed in your swimsuit - you will go straight out on to the deck. Showers are available as you go out - but most people just ran past them. We did not.
The ramp into the pool was quite dirty at the top with debris. Maybe because it was the end of the day? But the change rooms were very dirty in the bathroom area. (you can use the change rooms at the end of the swim - June 13, 2021)
Overall: great views, east transit access, heated water - the entire pool needs a revamp and a clean. I would go back just for the views alone!
