An unexpected and interesting find. Having noticed this place on the way in, I and a small group of cousins crept away from a baby shower to come see it. This was something new for me in several ways. Firstly, because it ISN'T Kings Park. Secondly, there was relatively little vandalism. Finally, some detective work done by my group actually turned up a fairly nice little downfall story for the place. Not sure if I should add this pool/community center/fitness/spa/gym... thing, in the DB, since news articles indicate it's likely to be gone by the year's end.

At this point we got a text asking us to head back, but this place had other plans. There was small door at the back, just past the tanning beds. "It's always a closet" has been a joke with us for a few years now. Any door that looks promising will open up to nothing. I pushed this door open, and discovered that what appeared to be a very small building from the road, was actually a TARDIS. Upon getting my group to shine a few lights into the black nothing this door contained, we found a room almost the size of an aircraft hanger. I believe it would have been a gymnasium floor, with several large partitions to the sides. Being pitch black, the only picture I was able to get was of a collapsed ceiling in one of those partitions.

Thanks for looking. The full album is available below. Not sure if I'll upload the video, as it's kind of shaky and probably won't be worth it if I can't smooth it out.

Nice Noose! Really enjoyed the pics you posted here and on your Flickr. The first shot immediately caught my attention as i love anything nautical. This place is really interesting. Is it located on the bay? or near a lake? Love pic 2 and 3.... & that little writers desk on your Flickr. Very unique find.

Thanks! Yep, it's located on a bay. Apparently the plan is to demolish it and build essentially the same thing on site. The articles say that the property was actually pretty valuable because of its location. Interestingly, I found a some old images from when it closed - that pool was indoors, but the glass housing collapsed at some point.

Neat find! I really like that round doorway, cool and unique feature.

Cool stuff! I like it. Sucks that it'll be gone by the end of the year, otherwise I'd seek it out.

I love how real these photos are. Really feels like I'm actually there. Also, that pool looks so nasty!

Very interesting find! Nice work- it sounds like quite the interesting exploration.

Thanks everyone. I did end up making a DB entry, so if you're a full member, the info is there for anyone that wants to go for it while it lasts.

Looks like it used to be a cool place! And nothing like tearing down the old to build the same thing in the exact same place.
