About Kwame Ture Recreation Center
It looks like the Kwame Ture Recreation Center in the Bronx is a pretty solid choice for a public pool. I mean, a 4 out of 5 stars from 150 reviews, that's decent for a city spot. They've got long hours too, open until 8 PM most nights, even Saturdays. Sundays are a bit shorter, 8 AM to 4 PM. If you're in the Bronx, which has a population of over a million and a half people, finding a good pool can be tough. I always recommend calling ahead (their number is (718) 293-5934) just to double check those hours or for any last minute closures. Public pools, especially in big cities, can change things up without much notice sometimes. It's listed as a public pool on the NYC Parks site, so I'd expect standard city pool conditions.
