0306 - Flushing Meadows Corona Park Aquatic Center (NY)

On the one hand, I have to give this facility near La Guardia and the US Open tennis center some credit: they are serving a massive population, have generous hours and always have lap lanes. On the other hand, at $10 an entry, those massive number of people should generate enough cash to actually clean the place. The locker rooms were beyond filthy and even the pool was strewn with hair and debris. It's quite a shame because, were this clean, it could be a wonderful place to swim.
