Astoria Park, Astoria

Love the fact that the pools are free in NY in the summer time. Went here with family and enjoyed it. They are really strict about having your cellphone while inside the vicinity (pool area) which is understandable. Need to leave everything in the locker and Have to rinse before getting in the pool which I appreciate 100% . Make sure to bring a lock to keep your stuff safe in the locker room. Plenty of lockers and room for changing. They do need more showers, but other than that the lifeguards are vigilant and it’s a safe environment.

Love this place! When you forced to stay in the city during your weekend this is the place to go! Very clean, safe park with an amazing urban view on 2 bridges nixed with greens, trees, river view! Lots of options available- kids playground, pool, boardwalk, sport ground fir adults on skates etc, free parking, walking distance to highway and restaurants! You can tan, picking ( with no barbecue) here! Absolutely yes to the heaven!
