Cove Point Park Pool: A Hidden Gem

If you are looking for a relaxing day at the pool with the kids than Cove Point Water Park also known as the Cove Point Park Pool is the place for you. The park pool is a Calvert County Parks and Recreation outdoor pool located in Lusby, MD. Great for anyone who lives in the southern end of the county. The pool is open May through September. Pool hours include lap swim, open swim times, and adult only swim. Adult only swim occurs every quarter till the hour.

There is a variety of areas to make everyone happy. There is a children’s pool for young children who are not able to swim. This area is gated off for their safety and mom’s sanity. There is a larger area that varies in depths for older children. Here you will find different sized slides, an obstacle course, rainfalls, and more. It made me wish I was a kid again! For more advanced/adult swimmers there is a large pool with diving boards. This is the pool that is open for lap swims early Monday-Friday.

After swimming and working up your hunger you can find something to munch on at the concession stand. The selection is small, but includes pizza, nachos, drinks, ice-cream, and a few other items…perfect summer snacks! If you want to bring a picnic from home, you need to exit the park and eat at one of the picnic areas. Only water is allowed to be brought inside the park. The park also offers areas to enjoy the sun. They have many long beach chairs for you to sunbathe on. Remember your sunscreen! If you are looking for areas in the shade, they have that as well.

The Cove Point Park Pool is a hidden gem. It isn’t too crowded and can be enjoyed by all ages. Most people clear out by 4pm. You can enjoy a very relaxing evening if you stay a little later than that. Glad that I found a pool so close to home that I enjoy.
