Swimming Pool Information

Located behind the Conservatory, Ellard's pool is reminiscent of the turn of the century swim facility complete with a large gazebo for escaping the sun or the perfect place to spot deer roaming the river along the Chattahoochee. A stone grotto provides showers and changing rooms, as well as a covered refuge perfect for poolside parties. Tables with umbrellas, chaise lounges, and a gas grill provide all the basics for fun in the sun.
