East Village and LES Public Pools Re-opens to Public Just in time for heatwave.  "Regular hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., with a break for pool cleaning from 3 to 4 p.m. During the current stretch of extreme heat, however, the city's outdoor pools, including Hamilton Fish and Dry Dock, will remain open until 8:30 p.m." (EVGrieve) 

After 50+ Years of Dormancy, Rockaway Bathhouse Reopens as Private Beach Club.
