Brooklyn Bridge Park will be getting a public pool this summer, which was made official when a $199,000 plan was signed off on this Wednesday. This won't be the floating pool that's been discussed in recent years, however, the 1,500-square-foot (that's 30' x 50') above ground pool will be placed in the Pier 2 uplands section. This pool won't be that much fun for adults, however, as it will only be 3.5' deep.
A park spokeswoman declared, “It’s going to be awesome. It will be a real destination." Once it opens this summer, the pool will remain for around five years.
Speaking of Brooklyn public pool, it may be time to check back in on McCarren Park Pool's renovation process—once that one's complete, there will be shallow sections and deeper sections for adults.
