Floating Pool Lady: A Great Way to Beat the Summer Heat
The name may sound like M. Night Shyamalan’s latest horror flick, but if going to one of the area’s best beaches isn’t your thing, you can still beat the summer heat by taking a dip in the Floating Pool Lady.
The Floating Pool Lady is a seven-lane freshwater floating pool that is located on a barge just off of Barretto Point Park in Bronx. The pool has all of the amenities as your neighborhood pool, including a pool house, locker rooms, and restrooms, however the view of the Manhattan may just be unparalleled.
Location: Barretto Point Park at Tiffany Street and Viele Avenue, Hunts Point, Bronx (map) 718-430-4601
Getting There: 2, 5 to Prospect Avenue; 6 to Hunts Point Avenue. Then take the summer pool shuttle to the Barretto Point Park.
Hours: Monday–Sunday 11am-7pm. Until September 1, 2008.
