Great pool with half reserved for lap swimming . Safe, well run, and clean . I hope it doesn't get gentrified like Red Hook so I hesitate to review it, but the staff deserves all credit.
Its free. Bring a masterlock and authentic swimwear . Go early to beat the crazy teens.
Don't swim when its empty and forty degrees.
one of my favorite places to go to as a kid

All you can bring to the pool is a towel and a book – what more do you need to enjoy this massive and clean pool. Oh yeah, don’t forget your lock and if need be, a white t-shirt. - The Corcoran Group
Douglass Park just reopened in April 2013 following renovations. - Elise Selinger
Don't be afraid to walk away, when your child is in the pool. They got it! Sit on the other side of the room and let it all happen...watch your little one grow into an awesome Barracuda! - N Maodza
