Pool Needs Repair And To Be Cleaned!

By Frank, 3/29/11

Went swimming today and found that there was a lot of trash and dirt at the bottom of the pool! Bandaids,lint bunnies, rusted earrings, dirt, which was bad but I ignored it. There are also bad rust spots on the bottom that need to be scrubbed. Overall it's a nice pool but has to be better maintained, but I guess it is hard since it is practically open all year round.

Swimming in the winter

By Gigi, 2/2/10

I love it at JFK Pool especially because I'm able to go swimming at 7:30 in the morning before going to work. I'm doing the Learn to Swim class that they offer and its really nice. The instructor is very patient and he has me relaxed in the water. I'm able to take a shower afterwards so I can go right to work. It's a really well kept secret.

My place to be!

By Anita, 3/27/08

THE THINGS I LIKE MOST ABOUT JFK REC CENTER ARE THE EXERCISE PROGRAMS THEY OFFER TO HELP PEOPLE GET ON TRACK TO A HEALTHY START. THE INSTRUCTORS ARE MOTIVATED WHICH ALLOW FOR THE TRAINEES TO BE MOTIVATED. I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING THE REC CENTER TWICE OR THREE TIMES A WEEK. I'M SO HAPPY...HAPPY THAT THE CENTER IS OPEN AND AVAILABLE! ANI

The Weight Room

By Rahbn42, 2/14/08

My doctor had instructed that I work out. I didn't know about JFK Recreational Center, until a co-worker told me about it. Until then, it had been like one of the best kept 'secret' in Newark. It was local, clean and secure. Excellent facility, beautiful outdoor/indoor pool & Fantastic Weight room! Haven't been there in a while, but they had a really 'DYNOMITE' Weight Room. Will be returning this year (2008)!

I am at the pool almost every week day since I knew about it.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/12/07

I like the size of the pool, its cleanliness, the staff members are friendly. The locker room could use some renovation, and be better heated in the winter.

Awesome

By texloc, 11/29/05

everything in the place is cool especially the employees, they help with anything you need. a good place to go to hang out. hambone which is an employee has all the right things to say about everything. Dee Dee is the best of them all but she can get a little rowdy.
