For years this public pool lay closed and dormant because neighborhood factions didnt want outsiders to use the pool. Its a NYC Department of Parks Facility so kick rocks. Its now open and nicely remodeled for the enjoyment of the entire Brooklyn and Queens community.

Nice big pool, at times can get pretty crowded with kids. Sometimes you get your out of control group of kids but staff seems to help. If they dont notice it, then go and let them know and theyll help out. If you go early, thats the best time. Not over crowded, plus when it starts to get crowded then you can leave. They have lots of rules to follow so make sure you call to see what you can or cant bring with you.

Best pool ever; its very clean, very spacious and has a sunscreen dispenser. The staff are strict but thank God they are. I remember going to this pool back in the day and the staff slacked off a lot which resulted in multiple fights, food and broken bottles everywhere, wet dirty clothes all over the place, it was pure disgusting chaos. Now the staff maintains order and keeps the place safe and clean for you, me and all others. kudos to the pool staff= keep up the good work.

Renovated in 2019 this pool is very blue and clean with new and pretty fittings, showers, lockers and floors.Surprisingly not crowded. The McCarren pool is open for longer hours than the Astoria pool.There are sections for all ages, including babies pool, free swim and lap swim. There are no specific markings on the bottom for lanes, but swimmers stay in their lanes.Water temperature is cool and refreshing. My six year old loved this place. The kids are allowed to jump from the sides (no diving), adults are not allowed to jump.

The pool is very large and spacious to accommodate a huge crowd and you dont feel like people are on top of you. Arrive early if you want a locker by the family restrooms or a sun chair. The pool is clean and chlorinated. The crowd is a mixed bag depending on the time of the day you go. Go to the morning session for less crowding later sessions pool is crowded and crowd is very different. L train to Lorimer St. you can walk but its several blocks from the train if you dont want to walk in the heat B48 leaves you in front of the pool building (Lorimer & Bayard St stop) Theres a deli down the block from the pool (Blue Star Deli) Negatives: Lockers arent in good condition and need repair and maintenance. I had issues opening my locker had to ask for assistance that was met with an attitude. Staff in the locker room area are very rude and unprofessional. Ive seen them block the bathroom door so people cant get inside which I think is ridiculous not everyone feels comfortable changing in front of others and I may actually have to use the bathroom. If you do stay till end of the session the lockers will be crowded and theyre rushing you out. Take only a towel white t-shirt lock for the lockers sunblock water. No phones swimming toys are allowed in the pool area. Swim diapers are required for infants and toddlers that arent potty trained. They check guys shorts to see if they have lining only swim trunks are allowed

This is our go to pool. I know the staff can come off as rude, but when you “kill them with kindness,” their attitudes change. One time we went, we couldn’t get in because the chlorine levels were too high. At least they cared enough about our safety. They have family rooms. Bring a lock! Only towels are allowed on the deck.

I WOULD GIVE THIS PLACE ZERO STARS IF I COULD, when going to this pool with my family I was SO excited. BUT when I took off my shirt to enter the pool, I was told that I could not go in. THEY STATED that the reason I was not permitted to enter was because my top is black. Which is NO reason at all. To not let a person in a pool, I was told I couldn’t go in by a staff member. TO ADD ON the water was foggy/murky and looked like it has a not been clean for a very long period of time. ALTHOUGH this place wasn’t absolutely disgusting it was FAR from clean. I am BEYOND livid with this place and attitude with staff. DO NOT GO HERE!!!
