In the heat of the long weekend, we attempted to take a dip at the pool in Astoria Park and were amazed by the long line to get in. The pool, which is the largest and oldest pool in NYC, can accommodate 3000 swimmers and the line sure made us feel like it may reach its capacity that day! We waited for a bit, but after not moving even the slightest bit, gave up and just enjoyed the park and views of the East River and nearby bridges (Triborough and Hell Gate).
The park itself also offers tennis courts, a track, a stage, and beautiful greenery. We will definitely be venturing here again and, hopefully, getting a second chance at the swimming pool!
