Rec Park Pool is a public outdoor swimming facility located within Recreation Park in Binghamton, NY. It serves as a popular seasonal destination, typically open during the summer months (late June to late August), providing recreational swimming opportunities for the community. The facility generally includes a main swimming pool and may feature a separate shallow area, often for younger children.
Specific, maintained pool temperatures for Rec Park Pool are not consistently published or readily available. As an outdoor public facility, the water is generally unheated, with its temperature fluctuating based on ambient weather conditions and sun exposure during the summer operating season.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The swimming facility is generally enjoyed by children and families, with many describing it as fun and a wonderful place to swim. However, several concerns were noted, including a significant safety issue involving registered sex offenders using the park and pool, with an incident of public indecency in the pool reportedly handled with staff indifference. Other common complaints include the main pool water being extremely cold (though the baby pool is warm), the presence of bugs in the pool, and the need for cleaner bathrooms. Some also found the environment to be loud and overstimulating.

So much fun for kids including those will special needs - but there is a major safety concern every single summer - the amount of men on the registry that use the park and children swimming to "meet their needs"... Sadly nothing is ever done - not even when my husband had to bring attention to the man "pleasuring himself" IN THE POOL to the staff who seemed to not care at all.
