This place is the best. My daughter learned how to swim there 4 years ago, and now has completed her second year on the swim team - she even swims the 100 IM! Coaches, instructors, and guards are next level! A beautiful place to meet friends, go for a swim, and of course, play pool volleyball on the weekends!

Zena Rec has been my home away from home during the summer season. My kids have grown up there, starting in the mommy and me swim lessons, and continuing until they graduated from level 5. They then joined the swim team, that has been a huge part of our summer. We love Zena Rec Park and that is why I am on The Zena Rec Board for my third time. I want Zena to continue to be around for my grandchildren to enjoy!

We are new to Zena Rec, have been warmly welcomed and are loving it! The kiddie pool is great for our family and recommend it for anyone with little ones looking for a place to swim for the summer!

This is the most wonderfully magical place that rarely exists anymore. We have been coming here for over 20 years and have used it as an escape from city life. The families and staff are what make this place unique and if it wasn’t for the commitment and hard work of not only staff but volunteers, this place wouldn’t exist. We have a wonderful baby pool where parents can safely play in the water with their children. The main pool with its diving boards and plenty of room for Marco Polo, family swim time, and dedicated adult swim time for adults wanting to do laps make it a perfect balance. A throwback to a time when random acts of kindness are the norm, all children are our children, adults get to be children again, plenty of BBQs and family fun, especially around pool volleyball at 3pm on weekends when adults play and children cheer :). Thank you, Brian, and the rest of the Zena staff for keeping us sane and keeping Zena alive.

Zena Rec has been part of my family's summer life for over 30 years. As a young family, my children became lifelong swimmers , even swimming competiviely in high school and college. As they became teens and young adults they had great summer jobs as lifeguards and met lifelong friends. Now I enjoy summer days at the pool with my grandchildren. Last year , even with the chllenges of Covid, Zena Rec agian provided us with much needed relaxation . This is a hidden gem for the Kingston Woodstock area.
