About
PS 20 Playground Mini Pool, located at 165 Clermont Ave, Brooklyn, NY, is a public park managed by NYC Parks. It features a popular wading pool, or 'mini pool,' operational during summer months, providing a key cooling-off spot for young children and families. The playground also offers play equipment and sprinklers, serving as a vital community recreational space.
Specific temperature data for the PS 20 Playground Mini Pool is not publicly available. As a typical public wading pool in NYC, it is unheated and filled with fresh tap water, with its temperature fluctuating based on ambient outdoor conditions, generally being cool, especially at the start of the day or season.
What are people saying (AI review summary)? This pool offers a pleasant experience with a nice playground and picnic tables, suitable for children of all ages, and generally polite staff. It's described as a small pool with less 'hubbub' than larger city pools. However, there are significant issues: a strict policy prohibits groups like daycares unless children are your own and a permit is acquired, which is not clearly stated online. The pool also suffers from capacity limits (32 people), leading to lines, and frequent closures due to the absence of lifeguards.

Had 6 kids with us to go to the pool because we're a daycare and it's hot. They told us we weren't allowed to come in because we needed a permit. This needs to be made known on their website. Had to walk 15 minutes with 3 year olds to another pool. You can only go if the kids you're bringing are your own. Smh

Nice small pool without all the locker room hub bub of the larger city pools - within the playground so plenty of activities for non-swimmers or after swimming. There are also picnic tables.

Nice playground and pool but only 32 people allowed at a time in the pool so sometimes there is a line to get into the pool.

No lifeguards show up and then the empty pool can’t open :(

It's a good place for the kids of all ages, and the people are polite
