• This $66.3 million aquatic center and its ten-lane, indoor pool were commissioned as part of NYC's bid for the 2012 Olympics. Dive, splash, and swim for just $5 a day. Our pick for Best Public Pool!

• The pool was once intended to serve as a centerpiece of the NYC 2012 Olympic bid. Now, you can swim in an Olympic Games worthy pool for jus the cost of a recreation center membership.

• Best time for an actual workout here in the pool with minimal crowds? Weekends at noon. (if the lifeguard says so it's true)

• This park is just incredible. There is so much to see & do. It's huge & a great place to run, walk your dog, catch a soccer or cricket game, picnic, lay around, get your Mister Softee, & so on

• Very convenient and sizeable pool. Parking available and easy to access. Only gripe is with idiots who swim in the fast lane doing breast stroke, otherwise a definitely awesome place!
