Looking for a Pool in the Park Slope Area

kaiserkai · April 2009

I am in PArk slope 6th St / 5th Avenue.

Looking for a pool, as I miss swimming, running in Prospect Park gets old after a while.

I couldn't find anything on this in the archives except for a post stating that the YMCA pool is closed.

Anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Cheers.
Kai

I'm sure you already know about this but how about the Red Hook pool? It's not all that far from you and, in fact, I think you can jump on the B75 (?) part of the way or take the F to Smith/9th and walk from there. Or maybe you could combine your running and swimming by running to the pool: http://www.nycgovparks.org/facilities/recreationcenters/B126

Cool.
Thanks Danielle.
Yes that works perfectly for a swim/run combination.

Will surely give that a try.

Cheers.

Sure thing!

You should be aware, also, that there are restrictions on the types of t-shirts you can wear there. There are certain color and logo restrictions, I guess, based on gang colors/symbols. They will make you turn your shirt inside out if it violates the rules (the rules may be posted online).

Have fun!

Yeah just been reading up on that.
Interesting stuff.

Only white t-shirts are allowed apparently.

Thanks again.

I think Red Hook Pool is only in outdoor so opens during the summer season.

Other pools in park slope:

1. Eastern Athletic Club: Across from the library on eastern parkway. Pool is on top floor with incredible views of downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan.

2. Garfield Temple: Pool is only open to members.

3. Maybe the Armory??? I haven't been yet, so I'm not sure what the new facilities are like.
