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.

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.

So if you're looking to enjoy the pool and a drink, make sure to do it in a weekend.

Very disappointing experience at Sprain Ridge Pool. My sister and I were wearing modest…read moreswimwear--long-sleeved swim tops and knee-length swim shorts made for swimming--and were kicked out of the pool because of it. Meanwhile, other guests (not Latino like us) were in the pool wearing linen shorts, and nothing was said to them. The staff, all around 18-20 years old including the so-called managers, showed no professionalism or understanding of inclusive swimwear options. The whole situation felt humiliating, unfair, and discriminatory. This pool needs better staff training and updated policies. Tuve una experiencia muy decepcionante en la piscina Sprain Ridge. Mi hermana y yo llevábamos trajes de baño modestos--camisetas de manga larga y pantalones cortos hasta la rodilla, diseñados específicamente para nadar--y nos sacaron de la piscina por eso. Mientras tanto, otros visitantes (no latinos como nosotras) estaban en la piscina con pantalones de lino, y no les dijeron absolutamente nada. Todo el personal, incluidos los supuestos "gerentes", tenía entre 18 y 20 años y mostraron una falta total de profesionalismo y conocimiento sobre opciones de ropa de baño inclusiva. Toda la situación fue humillante, injusta y discriminatoria. Esta piscina necesita urgentemente mejor capacitación para el personal y una actualización en sus politicas.

Welcome back, Sprain Ridge! This pool has been a contentious part of Westchester summer fun for…read moremany years but it looks like they finally got it together. They've done a complete overhaul of the grounds, improving upon the condition of the pools and integrating more kid-friendly features. Years ago I remember coming here with a friend and her kids, and having to request a refund because the water was so cold we were all shivering and our teeth were chattering. Shortly after, they shut down the entire pool for a season to make some renovations. When they reopened, it was underwhelming, as only part of the pool was completed. Now they're full open with two huge pools and a sprinkler park for the littles. The sprinkler area has plenty for many children to enjoy and all of it is interactive. The first pool is perfect for small children and adults, alike. We got our babes a coast guard approved floatie and it's perfect for the pool. She can float with no issue. The pool has a gradual beach entry and the depths are clearly marked for safety. The lifeguards are on point and very friendly. The other pool is for laps and more advanced swimmers. It's nice that they have the separation. They have a concessions area, just like the other Westchester pools, and plenty of areas for eating. They allow coolers (not larger than 12 inches square), chairs, tents (must be anchored in the grass) and even cart to tote everything. I wish they had more grassy areas as the sun can be very unforgiving and they don't offer much shade. The upgrade is definitely an upgrade and the pool is no longer freezing. I'm happy they've improved upon the design. Happy to be back.
