Get-your-trunks-on-the-worlds-best-public-swimming-pools [LonelyPlanet.com]


The Big Apple’s clutch of open-air pools in parks kick into action from late June to 1 September. The oldest and largest is at Astoria Park (nycgovparks.org), while the pop-up pool at Brooklyn Bridge Park (brooklynbridgepark.org /events) is handier for downtown Manhattan and great for kids.

If you’re in Queens, check out the Noguchi Museum (noguchi.org) in the former sculpture studio of the artist Isamu Noguchi, or the entertaining Museum of the Moving Image (movingimage.us). Brooklyn Bridge Park nestles below the suspension bridge – which you should not miss walking across – and is home to the wonderful, fairytale-like Jane’s Carousel (janescarousel.com).
