🏊 Lyons Pool Recreation Center

The Lyons Pool Recreation Center is a 3.2-acre (1.3 ha) public swimming pool complex in the Tompkinsville neighborhood of Staten Island in New York City. The complex is situated on the island's North Shore, next to New York Harbor, and consists of a general swimming pool and two smaller pools for diving and wading. The pool complex is served by a one-story brick bathhouse designed in the Art Moderne style, which runs along the pool in an L shape. The bathhouse consists of a northern wing for the women's shower and locker rooms, a western wing for the men's shower and locker rooms, and a connecting rotunda with a main lobby. The pool and recreation center are maintained by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
