Related Information

Pool Rules - Rules to know before using Parks swimming pools.

Know Before You Go

What to Bring Make sure you have a sturdy combination lock when you head out to the pool. It will keep your valuables safe, and let you hit the water feeling more secure about your belongings.

What Not to Bring

You’ll need to leave food, glass bottles, electronic devices, and newspapers at home. Unbound periodicals tend to blow around and create litter, food can be messy to clean up after, and there’s too much water around to make sure your electronics stay safe. Just to be on the safe side, we also recommend leaving valuables like jewelry and credit cards at home.

What to Wear

You’ll need to have a swimsuit to enter the pool area. We may choose to check men’s shorts for a lining if we can’t tell if they are wearing a bathing suit. Feel the need to cover up from the sun? Throw on a plain white shirt or white hat and you’re set. We don’t allow shirts with colors on them on the deck.

Swimming Programs

Learn about Parks’ free swimming programs for tots, children, teens, and adults.

Call Parks’ Citywide Aquatics at (718) 760-6969 for more information.

For everybody’s health, safety, and protection,  guests are  to observe the following rules:

• Bathing suits must be worn on the deck and in the water. Men’s bathing suits must have mesh linings. Hats may be worn on the deck for sun protection but are not allowed in the water. Plain white T-shirts may be worn over bathing suits if desired. Sneakers are not permitted. Rubber flip flops or water shoes are permitted.
• No urinating or defecating in the pools.
• Children under 16 must be at least eight inches taller than the maximum water depth to enter the pool without adult supervision. Specific height requirements are posted at every pool.
• No person will be permitted in the pool having: skin lesions, sores, or inflamed eyes, mouth, nose, or ear discharge, carrying communicable disease or having any type of bandage, adhesive tape, etc., on their body.
• All bathers must take a shower in the locker room before entering the pool.
• Patrons must provide and use their own padlock. No responsibility is assumed for lost articles. A standard master or combination lock is recommended. Small luggage locks are not permitted.
• The use of swimming aids, water toys, and flotation devices is prohibited.
• Electronic equipment, including radios, cameras, and cellular phones, is not allowed on pool deck.
• Eating or drinking is permitted only in designated areas. Alcoholic beverages are prohibited.
• Beach chairs, baby strollers, bags, blankets, or beach balls are not permitted on the pool deck. We will make our best effort to secure strollers.
• Follow the directives of lifeguards, Parks staff, and the police.
• Ball playing, running, jumping, using profane language or other forms of disruptive and disorderly behavior are prohibited.
• No diving, except in designated areas.
• No smoking, pets, or glass bottles permitted.
