A platform for civic discourse and the future of NYC’s waterfront.

A hands-on day of learning, play, science, and stewardship.

Advancing swim equity and water safety education on land. 

In honor of POOL1, the first iteration of + POOL, and City of Water Day, Friends of + POOL will host a Community Block Party featuring live performances, a waterslide, and activities and games for all ages.  The event will celebrate the future of NYC’s waterfront, where all New Yorkers have regular access to our city’s waters and can reconnect with nature.  

A series of science talks and panel discussions with + POOL engineers and scientists working on the project will engage community members more deeply in the work underway at the pool.
