About Hempstead Parks & Recreation - Averill Boulevard Park and Swimming Pool Complex
Ten PM closing time is pretty late for a public pool, that's a nice perk at the Hempstead Parks & Recreation pool on Averill Boulevard. You get a good chunk of the day to swim, from 11 AM all the way until 10 PM, every day of the week. That flexibility is hard to beat. It's marked as public, which usually means good value. It's located in Elmont, which is part of Queens. Queens is a big place, over two million people, so they're serving a lot of folks. The 4 out of 5 stars from over a hundred reviews is solid; people generally seem to like it based on what I see online. Give them a call at (516) 437-5881 if you have questions, or check their website. My guess is it's a popular spot.

Are there other public pools in Queens if this one doesn't work out?
Queens is a big borough, and there are almost certainly other public pools run by the city or local parks departments. I'd look at the NYC Parks department website or use a local search to find alternatives if the Averill Boulevard pool doesn't fit your needs.
