It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood overlooking Jackie Robinson Park & Pool on Edgecombe Ave. Enjoying an afternoon walk on this warm & sunny day. There's an enchanting cool breeze that sways the tree leaves back & forth. It's picturesque. This park which stretches from 145th Street up to the Polo Grounds Towers Projects on 155th Street & Bradhurst Avenue. Fond memories flood my mind as I think of my youthful summers running through this park, swimming in the pool, and playing freeze tag while making friends in the 1970s. Now in my retirement mode, that was half a century ago. It actually brings a smile to my face as i walk this stretch on Edgecombe Avenue. My oh my doesn't time fly by, like the insects who insist upon invading my personal space 🐞🐛🪲 . It's all good😎. I wish we had taken loads of photos, but we were far away from the digital media age back in the 1970s. Check out my photos & videos. Enjoy your summertime and take a walk at one of the numerous parks of the BIG 🍎 APPLE. 1LuV😊✊🏽

Went there with my 8 month baby for the first time and throughly enjoyed it. Staff and the supervisor were nice and attentive to help. Place was organized and clean as well.

Honestly, the pool was clean but it has things inside that I cant really tell what that was. The workers were VERY disrespectful and had an attitude. Started yelling at a lady with her kids because she didn't have a lock, and that poor lady could hardly speak English. They just be hiring anyone these days.🤦🤦

Horrible!! The workers not the pool. Over aggressive extremely rude unorganized staff. Im not sure who would hire people like this to work with children/ the public. NEVER going back there and I live a block away. Sad.
