This is a great municipal pool! Spacious and doesn't feel too crowded even on busy days & holiday…read moreweekends when you can hardly find parking (though the parking lot is quite large). There are a few picnic tables and grills on the lawn. No pool lounge chairs or towel service so bring your own chairs, picnic blankets, food/snacks and other accoutrements to enjoy a leisurely summer day. Facilities are clean and well-maintained. Very kids/toddler-friendly. The sizeable shallow end has several sprinklers/splash fountains for children to play in, and there are slides on both the kiddie and adult sides. Also a playground in the back (not affiliated with the pool). There are always many life guards on duty every time I've gone. The pool is accessible only to Clarkstown residents and their guests, so if you're not a resident befriend someone who is. You must obtain a Clarkstown resident ID card first at the registration office at 31 Zukor Road in New City. (The pool won't simply accept a driver's license.) Rates can be either daily or seasonal for individuals or family, and are very reasonable compared to similar community pools.

Back in the day we used to refer to this beleaguered mud hole as "Nanuet Snake" for the inundation…read moreof various slithering creatures who would join you on your swim in what was then a dark and unknowable crater that had more in common with Loch Ness than 20th century suburbia. It's no exaggeration that these monsters from the deep probably kept a legion of child psychiatrists in full time employment. On a recent visit it was nice to see that the previous snake-ridden den of iniquity has long been been replaced with a legitimate pool and that the mythological beasts of years past have been slayed by chlorine and actual cement walls. You can even see right to the bottom. What a concept. This is what Nanuet Lake should have been like all along... no thanks whatsoever to my parents who thought this was some tough love version of Shangri La, albeit minus the all consuming bliss one often finds in paradise. I kid about my parents (almost) and am happy to bestow five easy stars for a childhood reclaimed. I still hate snakes.

Exemplary of a premier athletic facility, the Jersey Aquatic Center provides a range of swimming…read morefacilities for children and adults of all ages. From the main, 10-lane, Olympic-sized competition pool to warm-up lap and training pools, there's a range of programs and facilities for a wide variety of skill levels. We visited recently for the Rebels Meters Mania swim meet, and one of the highlights was the digital scoreboard, which displayed each swimmer's name, lane and heat time. I was also amazed to see the meet livestreamed on the event's YouTube channel, which allowed for distant family members to watch our kids swim. The only downside was the ear-splitting dance music blared at the audience before and sometimes during the meet, which triggered my Apple Watch high-decibel alert. Attending a swim meet shouldn't put one's family at risk of hearing loss. Swim meets are naturally loud events, with concrete and water surfaces exhibiting maximum acoustic reflective properties, so there's little reason to add to that characteristic. Watch from the upstairs viewing rooms or bring ear protection, and consider keeping small children at home, in order to protect from the nightclub-like audio environment.

I joined the club last summer and definitely took full advantage. It's a small club and outdated…read moremeaning no fun bells and whistle's for the kids like many other clubs in the area. It is also very pricey compared to other clubs being that it isn't sponsored by a town but open to residents and other surrounding towns. That said it was a great way to spend relaxing days. The pool was pretty quiet even empty some days and there was always ample seating. Evenings however after work pick up of course. I was able to pack a cooler with lunch, snacks or have the offerings of a concession stand. So if in the mood for fries or a burger or a salad I definitely had that option. Furthermore I love that they don't prohibit outside deliveries of food. So if spending an evening there I was able to order outside delivery in. A nice bonus is that they offer tennis camp, swim team and swim lessons to members. Members can also use the tennis courts until the season closes in November. Pool water is freezing. Tennis courts and tennis program phenomenal. Small playground for kids which is a nice touch. Cleaning was done efficiently which I appreciated given Covid. If looking for a low-key pool to enjoy during the summer take a tour.

However, if you come on a weekday the waterslide is closed. The pool area is 5 stars on weekends. However, the bar/cafe opens late on weekdays. They don't permit you to bring any outside food or beverages in but they also don't sell any on weekdays. I asked if I could have room service bring food and drink to the pool and I was told no. So if you're looking to enjoy the pool and a drink, make sure to do it in a weekend.
