The 7 Pools of Central Park

Summer may be over, but as the temperatures drop, we’ve already found ourselves missing warmer weather and everything that comes with it: ice cream, sunshine, cookouts, and swimming. One of the benefits of living in the Central Park area is the 7 (yes, 7!) neighborhood pools that are all purposefully placed for maximum convenience of its residents. Daily entrance fees are required, but those living in Central Park may purchase a Resident Membership, which provides access to all 7 pools without paying per visit. The Master Community Association (MCA) also offers programming and activities like swim team, swim lessons, conditioning, lifeguard training, and even a junior lifeguard program.

Each pool has its own unique features and was designed with a specific swimmer in mind:
