The Fleishhacker Pool in San Francisco was the largest heated outdoor swimming pool in the United States. Opened on 23 April 1925, it measured 1,000 by 150 ft (300 by 50 m) and was so large that the lifeguards required kayaks for patrol. It was closed in 1971 due to low patronage.
Come out and chill out; the 54 outdoor pools operated by the Department of Parks and Recreation opened on June 27. In Central Park, Lasker Pool, located at 110th Street and Lenox Avenue, also started welcoming swimmers looking to get away from the heat of New York City. There is a wading pool and Olympic pool for visitors. Open through September 2, the pools are accessible daily from 11AM to 3PM, and 4PM to 7PM. The Lasker Pool also runs a series of free programming throughout the summer.
