You guys can say what you want about the people here but I've always had a great experience especially with the ladies who work there and the lady with the salt and pepper hair who I think is the supervisor definitely does NOT come to play she makes sure everything is going how it's supposed to go and that everyone is enjoying themselves. People forget this is a pool and they sit in these hot lockers all day and in the sun waiting on us from the min we come in untll the very min we leave. They give u the same energy u give them so a kind good morning and good afternoon ladies goes a long way!
If you're Hispanic, don't go. The staff is very rude, especially the one in charge of dress code. When I got in line behind me, there were people of color, and they walked in without being searched.
Never go to this pool. It has no security and the people who work are very rude to Hispanic people, especially a lady of color
today we were walking to the pool, when we saw the pool it’s closed but on the website it’s says open if yall wasn’t going to open the pool don’t have the website saying it’s open when it’s not if you were going to have it closed bc the Yankees are going to play then you don’t need to have your website saying it’s open
I’ve been going to this pool since I was a little girl. Not much changed but it’s very spacious. There’s always lifeguards and staffs in the area making sure everyone is safe. First session is from 11-2:45 and second session is from 4-6:45pm. I only go first session because it does not be as packed as second session! :)
