Sportspark
Sportspark Aquatics Center
Sportspark's primary amenity, our swimming pool, has been a staple at Sportspark since 1977. Recently updated in 2023, our pool measures 75 feet in length by 45 feet in width and is wide enough to accommodate 6 swimming lanes. The pool has a shallow end of 3.5 feet and a maximum depth of 8.5 feet. All of our lifeguards and swim instructors are fully CPR/AED certified and undergo routine in-service training. We prioritize that most of our pool hours are dedicated to our members, drop-ins, and guests in the form of open swim, family swim, and adult lap swim. Additionally, we offer learn to swim classes, water aerobics, and host other Roosevelt Island swim programs. We look forward to seeing you at our pool soon!
