About
The Mark Twain Pool, located at 160 Woodlawn Ave in Yonkers, NY, is a popular public outdoor swimming facility operated by the City of Yonkers. It serves as a community hub for recreational swimming, especially during the summer season, providing a refreshing escape and a place for local residents and families to enjoy aquatic activities.
Specific temperature information for the Mark Twain Pool is not readily available in public records. As a seasonal outdoor community pool, it is generally unheated, with water temperatures largely dependent on ambient weather conditions.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The facility generally receives highly negative reviews, with common complaints about its small, unorganized space, last-minute schedule changes, and frequent delays. Patrons report significant parking difficulties and a lack of handicap access. Concessions are criticized for being overpriced and frequently out of stock, and the pool was once closed due to toxicity during a meet. The locker rooms are consistently described as unsanitary, damaged, and messy, while the pool deck is noted for its filth, including slimy liquids and various debris. The pool itself is also cited for being unclean and containing trash. Limited seating is available for non-parents. In contrast to these issues, one positive review highlights the fun, energetic atmosphere and the excitement of the swim meets.

Place very small and not organized at all every meet is last minute changes. Doesn't start the meets on time. It is extremely hard to find parking. Doesn't have any kind of access for handicap people to get to the spectator area.

We had a swim meet here, and let me just tell you how bad it was. The prices for the drinks were so overpriced and they were constantly out of stock. The pool was closed for some time because of its toxicity levels during the meet. In addition to all this, the locker rooms looked like a fist fight was happening. The lockers were broken 😡 and the pool deck was 🤮! There was a slimy brown liquid throughout it and some crushed peanut M&Ms were there too. Horrendous experience!

Nice big pool but it’s not very clean and there isn’t much place for people to sit on the side who aren’t parents

Went to a couple swim meets here, had an awful experience. The deck was trashed with old candy and food, the pool had all kinds of trash in it, and the locker room smelled terrible. In addition the locker room looked as though a gunfight had occurred in it. Lockers were bent, some were ripped out of their hinges and it was overall an awful experience.
