Veterans Memorial Park Pool

Amazing pool, and I love how these young lifeguards take their job seriously and ask everyone to follow the rules. Clean environment, little crowded when we went there. Overall, we enjoyed.

It was our first time here a friend of ours recommended it, we arrived at 3 and literally 20 minutes in they started yelling the pool was closed because of thunder, mind you it was 90 degrees no clouds, looking at the weather app there was a storm around 7, we understood that the policy of no refunds but different people of the staff said they would wait 30 min to see if they would open; the ladies working there yelled at my wife to hurry up and change ; mind you we were taking turns changing since we had a toddler, staff started pressuring very rudely to leave, after an hour later my friend stayed by the playground to see people being able to go back in, so why would your staff push people away rudely to just open an hour later.

sign for fee schedule is obsolete and the staff didn’t feel sorry about the undisclosed new policy and was extremely rude and prejudicial. Yes I’m talking about that one young female staff. I understand you need to charge a higher fee for non- resident and we accept that since the residents pick up the taxes for the pool. However, I don’t understand why non-resident can’t use the facility even when they want to pay an obviously higher price. The lady suggested we grab somebody at the parking lot then let the stranger who is a resident sponsor us to come in use the facility. What’s the purpose of it, let that one local resident to be the judge? and represent the interest of all taxpayers in Hempstead NY? Or just formalism？ When I told her”This is so weird.” She confronted with the half ass

Lots of fun. Seriously updated since I was there a few years ago. My son loved it.

Small pool for the kids, shaded area with seats, vending machines, free cold water stations to fill up your bottles, free sun screen, diving board. Pizza and 7/11 just 5 minute walk. Life guards to watch the kiddies. I drive from Brooklyn to come out here for a nice day with the baby.
