With the borough in the midst of a heat wave, keeping cool is on everyone’s mind.
So, what better place to do that than one of the 10 free New York City pools located throughout the borough?
The general hours of operation for the pools are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
While the outdoor pools are free, the indoor pools require a recreation center membership ($75 per year for adults; $10 per year for seniors, free for children and teens under the age of 18).
