You already know about NYC's free outdoor pools, but what about the one uptown oasis not on the city's list?
Yes, we're talking about the outdoor pool at Denny Farrell Riverbank State Park.
Operating on a separate schedule from city pools, this state-run pool opens on Friday, July 4.

To find this unique outdoor pool with views of the Hudson River, head to the southwest edge of the 28-acre park.
This summer there are two daily general admission recreational swim sessions every day of the week, with slightly different hours on the weekends:
Monday-Friday 11am-2pm and 3pm-6pm.
Saturday & Sunday 9am-1pm and 2pm-6pm
Adult lap swim hours, which require a lap swim card (18 & over), are:
Monday-Sunday 6:30am-8:15am
Senior lap swim hours are:
Monday-Friday 9am-11am
Tickets are $1 for children ages 4-15 and seniors, $2 for those 16 and older.
The pool will remain open through Monday, September 1.
Thank you! I'll check it out :)
