John Jay Park

Amazing park but people tend to not observe public park etiquette? There was only one tennis court and there were group of guys playing from 11 am until 5pm. We talked to them if we can play but they were saying “oh it depends on the other guys after the game”. We had a huge fight with them after coming back from lunch because they were still there and it seems that since it is a public court we should all be fair and take turns! So i went to do the wall instead which was the only option and honestly enjoyed it

Really like this park, it has a sand box sprinklers, a little kids section, bigger kids section there is also a public pool too. Basketball court, handle courts, this too sometimes. Tables and benches for picnics. Decent shade too.

Great park, lots to do and very clean.

This place hhave the best playground that I ever seen in the city. The restrooms have baby changers and are really clean. I simply love it!

It's a cool neighborhood park with a tennis court, swimming pool and children's play area.

nice, small, quiet, ish pool, but they are stict about no cell phones, even if you have a water proof necklace bag.
lockers are small but deep, if you gmhave foldable backpacks you can fit 2, maybe 3 empty ones. Facility is clean for annolder building showers have good warm water, pleasent surprise.

We live mid town but cones here either when we are doing other things in the area already or for a special adventure trip. I love that it has everything for every age group. The water area is like a mini water park minus the water slides. 🙂

The pool is now open but I'm not sure what the protocols are for using it.

We always have a good time here

Great neighborhood park with lots to offer including racket ball courts, basketball hoops, there are markings for the tennis court but the net is improvised, an open air Olympic pool with a separate dive pool (open memorial day to labor day), a few pieces of workout equipment like a sit-up bench plus a big children's playground. All for free!

Update 6/28/21 the pool is open! You must bring a lock for the lockers and wear only white t-shirts/tops, otherwise they won't let you in.

Update 6/21/22 the pool is being filled today after some renovations and will reopen on 6/28. Additionally, they have redone the gardens and benches by the pool in the north-east corner with plenty of places to picnic. The only downside about this park is the number of people who have their dogs off-leash preventing use by other dogs who are in training.

The tennis court has been repainted and a new net installed.
