Hamilton Fish Park Pool was built by the New York City Parks Department in June 1936. The facility includes extensive facilities for filtering and purifying water, underwater lighting, and separate diving and wading pools. The largest pool has a main swimming area measuring 330 feet in length, with a width of 165 feet. Robert Moses is responsible for building the Hamilton Fish Park Pool. He was New York City's first park's commissioner. The pool's designers hoped to reduce swimming in the disease-ridden East River and keep children off the streets.
