Sunnyside Pool- 1941
 

This picture was taken in July 1941 of Marie Roussos at the Sunnyside Pool.  To the side of where she is standing is a snack bar.  The staircase in the background led to the roof which was another area where you could sun bathe if you didn't want to sit on the sand.  The Pool had lockers and you kept your key around you ankle.  Sunnyside Pool was unique because of the sandy area which made you feel like you were at the beach, it was beautiful.  In order to use the pool you had to go through the showers.  This was to keep the pool area clean from sand.  The pool consisted of two areas...one that went to about 2 or 3 ft. and the main pool which was deeper.  When it closed down we were all very unhappy.  It was located between Queens Boulevard and Roosevelt Avenue.
