Commodore Barry Pool

The park is lively and clean. The park also has a pool that is well maintained by the parks dept. It's very dog friendly. If your going to walk your dog here please pick up the poop.

**Commodore Barry Pool: Where Headbands Are a Crime (Unless You’re Not My Wife)** **Security here has a weird obsession with headbands—but only if you have cancer.** My wife, currently battling cancer, was **yanked out of the pool** for wearing one, while a dozen others flaunted their *illegal* headgear without consequence. When we pointed this out, along with the fact that **SHE HAS CANCER**, the response was a robotic *"Don’t care."* **Rules for thee, not for me:** ✔ **Headbands = BANNED** (if you’re my wife) ✔ **Cancer discomfort = irrelevant** ✔ **Basic human decency = optional** **Final thoughts:** If you enjoy **power-tripping lifeguards**, **zero logic**, and **being treated like a fugitive for ACCESSORIZING**, this is your spot! Otherwise, **swim literally anywhere else**. **0/

Best pool for lap swimming. I come here frequently during the summer to get my laps in—during morning/afternoon shift, they rope off the lap area to prevent interruption. Lifeguards are great at preventing collisions, too. Nothing but good experiences with the staff, and the music they play on the speakers is fun and upbeat. A total gem in the neighborhood!

If you're in Brooklyn and need to do laps, this place is great. Nice clean, clear pool with serious lap swimmers. Free. Bring a lock because you can't get in without one. No phones on the pool deck. There were only a few in the pool today and I just couldn't stop swimming.

This is a public pool, the pool area is generally kept clean. The rules are very strict only thing allowed on deck is towels, water bottle and books - That’s it. No shirts or cover ups or even cell phones! They will make you lock it up. Security is present for a reason and will enforce those rules. Update: they do not allow strollers but let you park on the outside of the premise (I don’t dare). They are still very strict. And this time I noticed a few creeps (assuming?) lingering on the perimeter which is concerning - hoping that they just have family members and couldn’t enter bc you can’t be in regular clothes. Bring a sturdy lock (as noted in picture) for essentials. Don’t bring any valuables including your phone - some lockers looked busted into so this proves you can’t trust the
