Once the largest indoor pool in the city, the swimming pool at Park Central hosted diving exhibitions, racing and water polo and “The Mermen” swim team.

On the rooftop of Park Central, the Cocoanut Grove cabaret was a fashionable nightspot for dining, dancing and entertainment with smart revues given nightly.

Twenty-Sevens sits in the former Mermaid Room, whose ceiling was graced by topless mermaids that so offended Eleanor Roosevelt that they were removed.
