Get rid of it! It will NOT add value to your home! There will be a bare spot in your yard where it was. Lay some stones or pavers, add some patio chairs, an umbrella, and perhaps a fire pit along with some potted plants for a wow look!
An above ground pool doesn't add any value, unless its got a deck surrounding it, but still, many buyers will generally remove an above ground pool. It looks like a nice pool, good size. You would easily sell it, I'm sure. It looks like its taking up quite a bit of space, use it for something you would use, like a gazebo or pergola. Your yard looks pretty nice!

get rid of it if you do not intend to ever use it again, having it will not really add any value to your home for resale...and depending on how much space you have in your yard, not having the pool might actually increase the value as the yard will look more spacious without it
As a former Realtor I can tell you that an above ground pool doesn't really add any value to the listing price of a home. Now if it was an in ground pool, then that would be a different story. So my advice to you would be to take it down and do some nice landscaping which does add value.
Typically pools, in general, do not add monetary value when selling a home. They may help sell your home, if that's what buyers expect in a particular neighborhood (or want), but they don't usually increase the selling price.
if someone is looking for a house with a pool yes.. otherwise people wont bother looking
Pools in general where I live are a hindrance when selling. However, you could leave it, if you are planning on moving in the next year or so. If not take it down.
You can shock it and leave a cover on it for a year or so (we did). You could say in your contract that you will remove it, if someone is interested in the house but not the pool. It would be a shame to take it down it you are not staying more than a couple of years, and the perfect buyer comes along who wanted a pool.
Ditch the pool.
I would keep the pool if you are thinking of selling soon. Otherwise I would get rid of it if you are planning on staying there for a few years. In my area pools add great value.
I know your home owners' insurance will go down if you get rid of it!
I would get rid of it. Not everybody wants a pool because of the maintenance. I had a house that had a pool and it took forever to sell. It doesn't give you any extra value. A built in pool would but not an above ground one. Take it out and enjoy your yard!
With all the decking and decking out you've done. I'd keep it, as is, if you're selling. Or sell it if you plan on staying and not using it.
