This neighborhood park is bursting with activities. Groups of friends come out to play handball, basketball, or soccer, and plenty of kids cavort in its popular playground. Whenever it's hot out, people cool down in the Olympic-size pool. Those looking for a workout go for a jog around the running track or take advantage of the onsite recreation center, which offers cardio equipment, weight lifting, and exercise classes.

Outdoor Pools
Red Hook

Red Hook Pool is temporarily closed. Just before the pool was scheduled to open, there was a major, unexpected failure in the equipment which operates the pool. We are working to make needed repairs as quickly as possible, but it will take time to receive some of the required parts. We anticipate opening in mid-August.



We apologize for the inconvenience and encourage you to visit other Brooklyn pools such as Douglass & Degraw (250 Douglass Street) or Sunset Pool (7th Ave & 41st St).
