Ironbound Recreation Cntr

So this is a hidden gem that i almost dont want to review; almost dont want people to know about it.
As a trye Unilocaler however i have to share this find!
Competitive swimming pool open daily free of charge to all. When was the last time you had a nice swim for as long as you wanted for free? Like try never!
Pool is clean, yes slightly dated but so well maintained.
Went there today from 11am to 12, guess how many people there were on all 6 lanes? 4people! By the time i was done: there were 2 left.
Yes, location sucks and really this is for people from Newark, Harrison and perhaps Karney to enjoy.
Showers are dated and not all work; bring your own hair dryer. But all that doesn’t bother me since i can just go home and be there in 5min.
Also excellent for kids since they do have baby and toddler depths available.
They plan to close it for 15 days renovation but will reopen in Nov.
Also i am looking forward to their ice rink hours. Will be available later in fall. Again kids classes avaible for free (from what i hear).
All in all i am impressed and will come back!

Great facility. 3 floors, 2 pools, 2 diving boards, a hockey/​ice skating rink, a recreation room and workout rooms on the top floor. This is the best rec center in Newark. They have a host of free classes and things for the children to do in the summer. Come on by to receive info on this wonderful facility.
