About
The Private Pool for Kensington Residents, located at 180 E Shore Rd, Great Neck, NY 11023, USA, is an exclusive swimming facility provided as an amenity for the residents of the Kensington community. It serves as a private recreational spot, likely for those residing in Kensington Gate Condominiums or the broader Village of Kensington, offering a seasonal leisure option during warmer months.
Specific temperature details for the pool(s) at this private facility are not publicly available. While many private community pools are heated for resident comfort during their operational season, precise temperature information is generally not disclosed to the public.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool is widely praised by Kensington residents as a "magnificent community amenity" and "hidden jewel," admired for its heated, clean, and warm water, as well as its outstanding and pleasant staff. It offers two lap lanes (reservations recommended), private swim lessons for children by lifeguards, and various activities such as ping pong, basketball, and volleyball, along with play areas and basic locker facilities. While some highlight its safe, neighborly environment, its private nature, exclusively for Kensington residents, is a significant point of criticism for those outside the area, with one reviewer calling it "horrible" for limiting access. There are also concerns about a recent lack of improvements to facilities like umbrellas, chairs, and showers.

Medium sized pool, with only 2 lap lanes (call to make a reservation). The lifeguards offer 30 minutes private swim lessons for kids, for just $25, and they are very good. At the front desk, staff will usually ask for a name and address.

This is "a magnificent community amenity" says my father, a Kensington resident since the 1960s - and he's right. This is a hidden jewel. And the pool is heated!. The staff is outstanding the pool is clean and the water is warm and feels like you're swimming in velvet! It's just wonderful! Simple, healthy, good clean fun. Ping pong, basketball, frisbee, volleyball, snack bar, 2 play areas for babies and older kids, amazing pool staff, always so pleasant and good company. Basic locker facilities for men and women with showers, soap, sinks, curtained changing areas, lockers to store your stuff - but no lock needed - who is going to steal your stuff? Everyone here is your neighbor. It's a special great treasure for Kensington residents.

This place is a very private pool only for the residents of Kensington. But recently they do not improve the facilities like umbrellas and chairs and showers.

I've been a lifeguard at this pool for the past two years. I have had the honor of guarding the lives of our youngest generation ensuring that they can grow up, alive, and become successful in their endeavors.
