Manhattan Park Pool Club is an outdoor pool on Roosevelt Island, at 36 River Road, with clear views of the New York City skyline from its deck. The spacious pool is used for swimming, baby swim classes and aquafit sessions, and the deck has lounge chairs and umbrellas. It suits a summer day by the water, especially if you are coming from Queens. Bring your own towel, flip-flops and locker lock, and check the current day-pass price before setting out, as online prices have not always matched the fee at the entrance.
