Facility Notes
The pool was formerly listed as part of Mills College but Mills College and Northeastern University merged in 2021 and it appears that the Mills College identity is disappearing.
The college's aquatics department publishes a weekly newsletter on Fridays that outlines any deviations from the routine. You can subscribe to the newsletter from the home page or from HERE.
Locker rental is $1.00 (non-refundable). Towels are available for a $2.00 rental.

Quite a find! Surrounded by playing fields and open space, it is large, clean, and well maintained. There is even a large outdoor Jacuzzi®! The locker room, lockers, and showers are small. When entering the school, you must pass through a guard gate; the guard can give you a day parking pass, but buy a long term parking pass if you visit frequently.

Great pool. Always call to check hours and special event closures. All swimmers MUST bring a photo ID to check-in.
