Take the McCarren Pool Survey

McCarren Pool Survey

A survey to gauge sentiment about the future of McCarren Pool, which will be redesigned to include a working swimming pool, has been circulating for some time in Williamsburg and Greenpoint. It’s also been posted online, and if you’re interested in voicing your opinion about the pool’s future and what it should include, you can click over and complete it. The three operative principles are that the bathhouse and entry arch must be preserved, there must be a pool and there must be year-round recreation. After that, things are more flexible.

    i’m really excited that they’re restoring the pool as a pool. i remember when i found out that the structure used to be a pool(i moved here in 99), and i fantasized about how great it would be to have a public pool nearby, but i wasn’t an optimist and figured it could only ever be torn down if anything. but pessimists aren’t always right, right?
