Hempstead Parks & Recreation - Averill Boulevard Park and Swimming Pool Complex — Attraction in Town of Hempstead

I recently had the pleasure of visiting one of our town’s pool at Avril Park and I felt compelled to share my experience, particularly regarding the safety measures in place and the professionalism of the staff. As a local resident, I believe it's essential to highlight how well this facility is maintained, especially in terms of safety, cleanliness, and overall enjoyment. Their vigilance is commendable; they maintain a watchful eye without being intrusive, striking a perfect balance that allows guests to relax.

The pool itself is clearly well-maintained to meet the highest safety standards. There are clear depth markers, and the layout includes designated shallow and deep areas, which is particularly beneficial for families with young children.

Having recently moved from Florida I was very excited to find a public pool close to my new home. However, my experience with the supervisor and his assistant has totally ruined my excitement. We wanted to celebrate my youngest 5th birthday, got all dressed and rushed over to enjoy the pool. Called before I arrived and found out I can take two guests. Unfortunately, I did not realize that underage kids ( my 2 adult quests have one kid each) are considered guest also. Tried my best but they wouldn't help me out. They couldn't provide written proof of what is considered a guest. Just had to take their word that underage kids are considered guest. Thankfull for Google that I found ECHO POOL less than 10 mins from there. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GO...
