Have a swim in Central Park during the summer!
Lasker Rink and Pool is closed for redevelopment of the future Harlem Meer Center. The new facility hopes to be open in time for the swimming season of 2024.
There is only one place to go swimming in Central Park, and that is Lasker Pool, located mid-park between 106th and 108th Streets. It features both a wading pool and Olympic-sized pool for visitors to enjoy.
The pool is currently closed.
Phone: +1 (646) 565-8687
Free swimming lessons and lap swim programs, as well as free sunscreen are available.
Since the pool is popular and busy during the summer, you must bring a lock to use on a locker in which you can store all of your belongings. The only items that are permitted poolside are a towel, shoes, book, and a water bottle.
