Ive actually only been in the pool once probably three summers ago. Its short. I dont do flip turns. It opens in the summer. Ill swim in the Hudson.
Amazing atmosphere 👏
Its a gorgeous place,theres so much you can do in one place.I just think they should get better curtains for the chaging room,and shower
The aquatic program is a no frills operation under pandemic conditions, but I am getting my lap swimming in and it feels great.
WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE Ive ever seen! Theres No consistency in the information given by the majority of the employees, The Lady with brown Eyes at the Gate its extremely Rude so Expect being treated like a Criminal if shes at the Gate.
This review is for the indoor pool: My favorite swimming pool in NYC! Super decent price for an olympic size pool (50 meters config during lap swim hours; 25 yards during open swim hours) is always clean with the perfect temperature for laps. Changing room is huge and fairly clean. The showers are tricky as they are often too hot or too cold. Once you get the right temperature youll get a great shower with good pressure. The best part is the staff and the people here. They are always happy and talking to everyone.
I would have rated it 5 stars except if you have to lie on the grass, I thon,k they should take better care of the ground so its comfortable, including hiring an exterminator. There is everything from ants to dragonflies, bumblebees and other critters I cant identify.
Love it (roller blades)it amazing for kid and grown ups they can sit and have fun it is realy open with lots of picnic room and has an amazing roller baldes area
The workers there they don’t know how to deal with a customer’s good I ask them how I could get the online ticket for swimming pool and they don’t told me how
Always open on time, crowded but not so crowded you cant get in a good swim. Cheap as hell. Great resource for NYC swimmers.
I love the ways run I love the inside pool the outside pool you want to get some sun in the kids they got a pool for the kids for toddlers and they are very good with the rules I like that place its been my summer for the Last 5 Years
I ventured out to Riverbank Pool and I must say I enjoyed myself. I stay there between10 and 1. Not to crowded, staff was pleasant, price was right...
There are racists staff and they wouldn’t let a child that’s gay has a big body can’t wear a shirt but people like there color can many was in the indoor pool that had a t shirt which is unfair for others they need to check that period !!!!and a light skin family came in thought that he was with them knowing he went in with me tho and they had friend standing out there and didn’t tell me anything at all that’s was the crazy of riverbank and I don’t recommend to go there because they steal things out of your locker don’t go!!!!
Its so nice and the crazy part is that if you dont wanna be outside you can go inside
The best bargain in New York. For $2, swim Olympic-length laps as long as you want. A buck if youre 65 or older.
Place was nice and it was clean just feel like they overdosed on the chlorine in the pool and for my personal preference i wish the pool went deeper than 4 feet
The pool was great ,after a nice relaxing area near the water my new chill spot 😎
Huge park and pool very awesome
This pool is just great! But the rule of it is just rediculous for closing the pool just for a thunderstorm that was not even close from us made the line wait for hours.
Its almost my birthday and were going there for my birthday! Yay! I really like to swim so its really fun for me!! Yass!
Love this pool. Its a hidden jewel. The staff are great and cleanest pool in the city.
It was a very hot day and line was long but we made it in! The facility and the staff are fine.
This place is a true gift to the Upper Manhattan area. The facilities are clean and the lifeguards are polite and knowledgeable.
They are probably trying their best, but it is probably the worst pool Ive been so far. Overcrowded, and dirty.
Again the best keep secret on the upper west side. Dont let the cat out the bag.
I came here at 5 and they say they close at 6:30 but were closed when I got there and I tried calling the front and they weren’t available.
I been coming here since the park opened and it get better each year
Very nice pool and people lus extremely clean
They need to change on the website bc i went there thinking the pool was still open at a certain time got there its closed

2021-06-17Nice place for a city person to relax. The views are great who’d know this park was created above a sewage treatment plant? The occasional odorous smell you’ll smell however isn’t too bad.

2020-03-12Went here with my friends and we had fun. We went to the outside pool. The workers are nice, the life gaurds were always around, bathrooms are clean. I would suggest that they get better curtains for the changing room. They arent wide enough, so you have to move extremely fast so no one accidentally sees you. Other than that a lovely place. You can use their lockers, but you must bring your own lock to use. I plan on going here again when the weather gets nice.

2020-06-25Ok so it was fun I wouldn’t lie but it was really crowded and dirty. Kids left their eye goggles in the pool and the other kids took them. The only reason i went there is because it wasn’t that far and because I didn’t know any other pool. I would recommend you not to go there please for your own sake I never had a warning but now you do.😢

2020-07-15**Review of pool during Covid-19**We went on a suggestion from a friend who had taken her kids to the pool the week before. She said that it was not crowded when they went. That was not our experience. I had read that NYC pools were limiting capacity to 25%. However, there must have been 40-50 ppl there. Kids were bumping into one another and there really was no way to keep a safe distance from others. In addition, masks are supposed to be worn on line and when not in the pool, but I saw many people without masks. I am glad that the pools are open for those that need somewhere to cool off, but for me, it’s just not worth the risk.

2017-07-20The park itself is beautiful, the scenery is amazing, however, the pool is absolutely filthy. The locker rooms had a nose burning scent of a mixture of bleach and urine and how crowded the pool(s) were, was outstanding. Some of the staff are friendly while others have a complete attitude towards simple questions. Would NOT reccomend coming here if you want to go to a pool that is clean and is large enough for you to swim around in, the size of the pool(s) do not accommodate how many people visit. I dont normally give reviews, but this pool was just so disgusting that I was practically forced to, heed my warning.

2017-07-20This state park is lovely but in all honesty, the indoor pool is disgusting. Aside from it being extremely crowded, the changing room smelled of pure urine, the floors were dirty, there was loose hair everywhere, and bandages hanging around. I kindly asked an employee to inform facilities of the smell and with an attitude and shoulder shrug I was told that there werent people to clean the shower area.For those who are concerned about cleanliness, I would NOT recommend this pool. I think I spent 15 minutes in there before leaving. The stench was an indication of what was to come and I was right.I do NOT recommend this pool at all.
