About
The Edenwald Houses Mini Pool, located within Edenwald Playground at 5207, 1145 E 229th St, Bronx, NY 10466, USA, is a seasonal, free public mini-pool operated by NYC Parks. It is a shallow facility, approximately 1.5 feet deep, primarily designed for young children and families. Open during the summer months, it provides a supervised recreational space with lifeguards, restrooms, and changing facilities.
Specific temperature information for the Edenwald Houses Mini Pool is not publicly available. Consistent with many NYC Parks mini-pools, it is generally unheated, and its water temperature typically fluctuates with the ambient air temperature and sun exposure during its operational summer months.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The park has been remodeled, featuring beautiful trees for shade, private seating, three water sprinklers, two jungle gyms, a climbing rock, restrooms, a water fountain, and dedicated caretakers for opening and closing. It also includes open fields for sports, a handball court, and a small swimming pool, making it a good option, especially when it's hot. However, there are significant criticisms regarding staff indifference to destructive children, littering, and unsupervised dangerous activities like lighting fireworks, with staff reportedly stating they only monitor the pool area, leading some to view it as a last resort.

It had been remodeled and they added beautiful trees that provide ample shading. The park seating provide a private feel. It has three water rock sprinklers that the kids enjoy. They have two different size jungle gyms with a small climbing rock. A male and female bathroom along with a water fountain. They have care takers that open and close the park area. They have surrounding open field areas for baseball and softball games. A hand ball Court and a small swimming pool.

The staff are indifferent to the children that destroy the park. They hand out the lunches, which is nice and all, but then they don't care if the kids throw those lunches all over the place. There were children lighting fireworks, scaring smaller children and adults and even dogs. When told about this the response as "there isn't anything I can do about that, we only monitor the pool, nothing else." Isn't the pool part of the park?
