About

Summer swimming pool offering lessons, cabanas, and parties.

Specific pool temperatures for the Park City Swim Club are not publicly available. As a seasonal outdoor facility, the pool temperature is primarily influenced by ambient weather conditions, with no explicit mention of consistent active heating to a set degree.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool receives mixed reviews. Positive aspects include its reputation as a family-friendly 'hidden gem' with a beautiful and generally clean environment (especially in the mornings). Many appreciate the excellent swim lessons (with a specific instructor, Ian, being highlighted), attentive staff who prioritize children's safety, and the presence of a kiddie pool. Patrons can bring their own food and drinks, though outside food vendors and the entrance fee are cash-only. However, numerous negative reviews point to significant issues with staff professionalism and pool maintenance. Lifeguards are frequently criticized for being rude, disrespectful (including instances of body-shaming), smoking/vaping on duty, and exhibiting poor patience or inattention. Similar complaints extend to front desk staff and the manager. Cleanliness outside the pool, in changing rooms, and bathrooms is a recurring concern. Other issues include broken rental tables, not receiving promised lounge chairs, and classes being held in the main pool which some find disruptive. Visitors are advised to bring cash and familiarize themselves with the rules beforehand. Suggestions for improvement include better staff training, hiring, and increased investment in cleanliness and modernization.

My family has been coming to this pool for a few years now. My son comes here several times a week. He swims a lot so it’s good for our family. They offer swim lessons, and the instructor Ian is excellent. This place gets very packed on a hot day, it is the cleanest first thing in the morning, and it is very beautiful. I know that they clean the pool and add more water every single day/ a few times a week because I see it (we come here, several times a week). The staff know my son by name and really support him. They are very concerned with kids who cannot swim so they’re constantly watching little kids to make sure that they are safe, so I highly recommend this pool for families. Definitely bring cash, there’s a guy that sells food. He only takes cash and downstairs the entrance fee is only cash. You can bring your own food, and your own drinks, definitely bring sunscreen, be prepared to pay more money for a table for an umbrella, or a for a specific type of chair. Make sure that you read and get yourself familiar with the rules before you come upstairs to the Pool. There are very specific rules, just like any pool in New York City. It is imperative that before you come or before you go upstairs after you pay that you find out what those rules are. I observe that a lot of people who come here don’t know the rules and then they get spoken to and then they get upset because they got spoken to when they broke the rules that they didn’t know about. The rules are written downstairs, it’s very obvious to me, and I just see a lot of people not paying attention and then getting upset when they get told that they’re breaking the rule. I think that the lifeguards are great. They pay attention. The pool is beautiful and clean. It gets really packed a lot of times, but even on a very hot day It’s nice and breezy Because if it’s location. I think it’s a hidden gem in Queens! Also, they had a kiddie pool for toddlers!! It’s amazing!

PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU PLAN ON COMING HERE !!! I planned on coming here with two friends and my mother , at the start everything was great sure yes. The DISGUSTING thing about this pool are the LIFEGUARDS. A ton of these “LIFEGUARDS” are terrible staff. I had such a terrible encounter with some. My friend was swimming and these two LIFEGUARDS made fun of her infront of her. They body shamed her calling her a disgusting name. These lifeguards hold absolutely no respect whatsoever for the people in the pool. Worst part is they have terrible patience and lack great attitude. Don’t clock into work expecting no work, you decided to work as a lifeguard so now you suck up and WORK. These lifeguards were NOT short staffed at all, they all have their table in the front of the stairs. They didn’t open the kiddie pool at all even though very clearly there were a ton of kids. Worst part is that they’re SMOKING. How are you a lifeguard and SMOKING? Especially infront of kids and others. ALSO!!!!! If you come here expect a man to tell you to move to another part of the pool because NOW they give classes. Isn’t that ridiculous? Instructing and giving swimming classes in a pool where everyone is paying to be in? I said out loud that I paid to be here. They could also do a much better job in cleaning the walls of the pool. If you truly think that the lifeguards will not affect your trip here, oh they will. I read the reviews thinking it would be nothing but surely they were right. They need much better staff here , better hiring. I’ve been here before in 2021 and 2019 with no problems and remember they used to be much busier. Now it’s a little bit more emptier than it seems. This could be a great place if it wasn’t for the lifeguards. Do better. One lifeguards names I caught was Chelsea and she was one of the lifeguards laughing at my friend and making fun of her. The lifeguards that bothered my friend will be shown below. The dude is literally smoking in the picture. Worst part is the vape is yellow, same color as their whistles. Coincidence?

Very rude front desk girl and overall rude employees. There was one guy who was friendly though. They also only accept cash and the same price $25 regardless of age. No ATM machine there and they don’t give receipt or anything when you pay. Also overall not so clean. Outside of the pool is pretty dirty. Changing rooms and bathroom not clean either. This place needs more care, good employees, investment to keep the place clean and more modern. It actually does not even deserve one star.

The pool was super clean and well-kept. I saw some reviews complaining about the lifeguards, but that wasn’t my experience at all. They were really respectful and helpful. I had a great time and really enjoyed my visit.

These most unkept swimming pool I have ever been too. The manager has a very poor attitude. Make sure you kids know how you swim because most of the employees are vaping or have ear pods in their ears while working. The tables that cost $40 to rent are broken and have sharp edges. They never gave us our lounge chair that comes with every table rental. They never gave us our lounge chair that we paid extra for. They never told us that one lounge chair comes with every table rental.The brush to clean the grill was on the floor on top of dirt.
