Dozens of outdoor city pools reopen for the season today (Thursday, June 29).
First, let's start with what won't be open — the Tompkins Square Park mini pool, which is looking science fiction-y...
The mini pool is closed for the next two summers as part of the field house renovations in Tompkins Square Park.
While the pool doesn’t appear to be part of the construction, it’s all about the plumbing, which we're told is a disaster.
And every year, we hear from people who had no idea there was a mini pool in Tompkins Square Park. The mini pool is open for children and their parents-guardians. Just there — under the arrows by the basketball courts...
As for what is open...the Hamilton Fish Pool on Pitt and East Houston and the Dry Dock Pool on 10th Street and Avenue D.
Outdoor hours are from 11 a.m. through 7 p.m. daily, with a break for pool cleaning between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. Find more info about city pools at this link.
The outdoor pools are in service through Sept. 10.
Sorry it won’t be open this summer. But, won’t miss ‘Marco Polo’ and the 3 AM swim parties. Joys of living across the street!
ReplyDeletemissing & mourning early bird lap swim @ Hamilton Fish soooo much. :(
ReplyDeleteNotify NYC is now sending emails/alerts for pool openings and closings throughout the summer.
ReplyDeleteanyone know if the wading pool is open at Dry Docks this summer? or if the whole big pool is open? last year there was such a small swimming area open :(
ReplyDeleteThe wading pool still seems to be broken, but the main pool has more lifeguards this year and has been completely open most days.
DeleteNice moss action starting to develop in there
ReplyDeleteSwimming in this pool should be the next Tik Tok challenge. Lord knows what you might catch.
