Hamilton Fish Park Pool
Description
The Olympic-size swimming pool in Hamilton Fish Park lives up to the description more than others, since it was used as a training facility by the US Olympic team for the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki. But you don't have to be Michael Phelps to take a dunk, and there's also a wading pool for smaller swimmers.
