This newly renovated chlorinated mecca sits at the border of Williamsburg and Greenpoint, making it a beacon for North Brooklyn dwellers. With a 37,571-square-foot swim area, in addition to plenty of poolside space for beach-chair and towel lounging, you’ll be able to scope out hundreds of stylish hipsters, neighborhood families and curious tourists looking to stay cool. Just be prepared for a wait: The pool’s been drawing major crowds—as well as some scuffles—since its late-June 2012 debut.

It was a historic moment, when the park reopened a few weeks ago. Marred by violence, the park needs more police. Having said that, this IS a PUBLIC city park. Things like this will always happen. It's not Westchester or LI. I Hope people around the city can enjoy this park in the near future, with worrying about safety.
