The heart of the west side by Teitur

I think that in many peoples minds this, along with a small grocery store next to it are the heart of the west-side (Vesturbær which encompasses the neighborhoods of 107 and a part of 101).

Kids come to play and the older generation to loosen up a little and get the blood moving.

It is also among many pools in Iceland that acts as a kind of community center as well. There is a long standing culture of hot-potting you see; with the older generation often coming every day at around a similar time early in the morning and often sitting till they get boiled chatting to their fellow community members.

Like all pools in Reykjavík there is also a steam bath included in the pool admission and a sauna you can pay extra for. It also has a small gym and a tanning bed both of which would be paid separately and might need booking.

The pool is an outdoor pool.
