Hearst Recreation Center
RecreationAbout Hearst Recreation Center
Set in a quiet, safe corner of Tenleytown, Hearst Recreation Center offers a refreshed outdoor pool, basketball court, and soccer field that serve as a real neighborhood asset. Reviewers consistently praise the beautiful, clean pool and friendly staff, and many families appreciate having a comfortable place close to home for kids and adults alike to swim and play.
The pool draws a lively mix of lap swimmers, families, seniors, and summer campers, and the resulting tug-of-war over lane etiquette is a recurring theme in reviews. Visitors note a few practical drawbacks too, including limited bathroom access and a basketball court built on a slant. Still, the overall sentiment leans warm: this is a well-used community pool and rec space that locals are genuinely glad to have. Bring a big towel, as seating can fill up.
