Nice Pool - Good quantity of Lifeguards - Nice Workers - No problems at all. Just a suggestion: before going, see what is allowed to use and to carry. Example: cell phones are not allowed on the pool area; certain clothes colours are not allowed; sneakers inside the pool areas, and yes, they have lockers - just go and enjoy (there are no convenience stores to buy anything, but children can have a free meals)

This is one hidden gem in NYC. The view from the top and towards the highline is simply amazing with the Harlem and East River in front of you.
