NYC Free Pools Open This Summer

New York City’s 50+ free outdoor pools are officially open for summer, offering a cool escape from the heat across all five boroughs—open daily 11 AM to 7 PM with a 3–4 PM cleaning break. Mayor Mamdani’s at Thomas Jefferson Pool in East Harlem to kick things off, making it the perfect no-cost chill spot. Bring your swimsuit and your own locker lock—no food, phones, or glass bottles allowed to keep things safe. Red Hook Pool in Brooklyn is still closed due to equipment issues but expected to reopen by July’s end. Last summer, over a million swimmers flocked to these pools, and the city’s new lifeguard hires mean safer, more fun swims ahead.
