G. Thomas DiDomenico Bayonne Municipal Pool 179 West 16th Street, Bayonne, NJ 07002

"It was quite Haven't been in 5 years. It looks alot cleaner. Not too crowded."

"Weekdays the pool is very busy so I can only imagine during the weekends. The price for admission is very reasonable and with the resident card is worthwhile if you plan to visit frequently. Plenty of space to spread out around the pool. If you are early, snag a bench or picnic table around the pool. The toddler pool area is particularly busy. Lifeguards are young and do a decent watch. Of course, there are groups of rowdy teens rough housing and cursing around the pool. The guards maintain fairly good control. At the slides, things run orderly and safely. Parking during the weekdays after 12 is tough. I've had to park down further in the large lot by the playing fields. Cleanliness: considering the number of people, the water appears to be well maintained and the surroundings are neat and tidy. I see staff picking up random garbage let by people throughout the day."

"Opening day very nice..not crowded...lifeguards did great job...crazy weather...very cold at times! Great to have the pool back ! They did a great job with it! Looks fantastic !"

"very nice pool, and kids friendly. parents can stay under the tree next to kids pool. Allow parents to order food from outside, but the bathroom is not good. I got Mosquito bite every time, but it is nothing after considering the fee."

"Strict resident policy - With ID it’s more $ With resident card we pay $3 adult $1 under 13. Weekdays are always the best obviously less crowds. Weekends are pretty crowded but still enjoyable. Food - meh. Salty and overpriced although we do not eat meat so can’t speak on the meat. Snacks are ok but we like to bring our own. Management of pool is ok, they have young lifeguards but despite their age they are mature and pay attention IMO. If you need anything and go to the office they are on it! Recently there have been problematic crowds, rowdy teenagers with no manners- ex: smoking, drinking, bullying, rough playing. They try to manage it but people need to report it for the proper steps to be taken. I always say if we can enjoy our time there is no issue but once there is an interruption we need to speak up. Such as cursing at little children (yes that happened). Overall, this is a great pass time and location for our community, bring a blanket and chairs, your own food and drinks and you’ll have a great time! Parking can be difficult so get there early, if you have a small car it is easier."
