Manhattan Park Pool Club

This facility is only “worth it”, if you’re a Roosevelt Island resident and invest in the season pass. We did both, and it’s a god-send during the summer months. You can carry-in your own food & drink, they have grills for community use, and guest pass pricing keeps it from overcrowding. If you’re a non-resident, look elsewhere for a pool.

Nice pool for learning to swim. The membership is kind of expensive for membership if you are not a resident. But we really enjoyed it when doing baby swim class as part of aquafit swim class. Also the location is very convenient from queens to get to. It's outdoors though so good only for summer. The indoor pool on the south of the island is better for all seasons but is currently undergoing renovation.

Went there today.. got there around 12:30.. they wouldn’t let me in because it was full capacity & I came all the way from Long Island. It cost 70.00 for a weekend day pass. Apparently it gets very crowded. Maybe I’ll try again during the week. I hear weekday passes are 55.00, today was a waste of time for me I had to take the train & bus to get there & then couldn’t get in. Very upsetting!

They need to update the website. No time slots anymore so go when it opens to secure a spot. No towels provided. Chips, Gatorade, etc available for cash purchase only. It’s basically a public pool except it costs $70 per day. Seems like a nice spot for local families with memberships though.

It's worth it. Be sure to bring your own towels, flip flops and lock for the lockers. The bath/locker room could use a renovation remodeling. The environment is very chill. I do plan to visit again.
