Andrea F. • July 17, 2021Great pool with half reserved for lap swimming. Safe, well run, and clean. I hope it doesn't get gentrified like Red Hook so I hesitate to review it, but the staff deserves all credit.
The Corcoran Group • June 20, 2012All you can bring to the pool is a towel and a book – what more do you need to enjoy this massive and clean pool. Oh yeah, don’t forget your lock and if need be, a white t-shirt.
Nicola R. • June 25, 2016Best Equinox in NYC by far; one of the best rooftop pools in the city, totally worth the cost of the membership. Amazing place to come to and relax after a long day at work.
Lola • March 7, 2014Non students: $5 fee to be paid in the gym. Down the stairs all the way at the end if the main hall & to the left. Open swim hours M-F: 1-3pm, Sat-Sun: 3-6pm. Hair longer than 4": need a swimming cap!
The Corcoran Group • June 20, 2012Free, Clean and Totally Awesome! Still a secret after all these years – come at the right time and almost the entire pool could be all just for you.
Daniel v. • July 15, 2013Don't take yourself too seriously and you might just enjoy yourself. The waitstaff are courteous, kind and respectful. The ginger slush is perfect in the heat.
NYC Parks • June 27, 2012Betsy Head was the first recreation center designed with a public outdoor pool in mind. It's notable for its distinctive "rooftop observatory," creating a distinctive light-filled structure.
Fodor's Travel • August 21, 2015Stop by Queens for a lazy summer day at the city’s largest and oldest pool (dating back to 1936). Once you’re done swimming, you can stroll around Astoria Park along the East River.
Zoey A. • August 24, 2017I like this park !
The Corcoran Group • June 20, 2012Membership to this center (and all others) is $150 a year. You’ll get access to the clean and slightly chilly pool. Beware of the mandatory showers, they’re cold too!
Jennifer N. • July 7, 2013You can't bring floating devices of any kind. Tough for the really young kids (and parents!) with this rule.
Ivie C. • February 27, 2011Delicious shrimp tacos and good picante sauce. Nice venue for dancing and mingling
Gradie O. • November 18, 2011Really nice pool, always have a note up looking for a lifeguard; here are the hours: Mon - Thr 11:00 - 3:45 pm/6:15 - 9:30 pmFri 10:00 - 3:45 pm Sat 10:00 - 4:30 pm Su 12:00 - 3:30 pm
LifeguardHub • August 9, 2011Not that much traffic goes to this pool - which is a good thing! Totally agree with E R.
