In Needham, along Rosemary Street is the Rosemary Pool, which is run by the town and has rates for both residents and non-residents.

The pool is located along Rosemary Street, at the base of a hill. The parking lot is just west of the railroad crossing. On some days, this lot may be full and you may be directed to park elsewhere.

The pool is unusual in that it sits fully within Rosemary Lake (it's really a shallow pond). The water, pumped in from the lake and chlorinated, is filled to the level of the lake to equalize the pressure on either side of the wall. The length is 300 ft and the width is 70. The edge by the sand is a foot deep, while the other end is about 9 ft. One side has lap lanes, while the other side is a diving area. There is a concession area and a shower-restroom areas. Along the slope is a playground and picnic area.

Unfortunately, when I arrived there, the pool had been closed for the season. That's why there were more geese than people there. Next year!
