This just in from the office of Assemblywoman Joan Millman, representative of our 52nd District – the Douglass-Degraw Pool will be saved!
Assemblywoman Joan L. Millman is pleased to announce that the Douglass-Degraw Pool will be open for summer beginning Tuesday, June 29th. After the community and local elected officials rallied to protest the City’s plans to shutter the beloved pool, the City responded by abandoning budget cuts that would have closed the facility. The Douglass-Degraw Pool is located in Thomas Greene Park in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn and serves a diverse population, including nearly 3,500 residents at the nearby Gowanus Houses, Wyckoff Gardens and Warren Street housing developments. The facility is also the nearest public pool for residents of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill and Park Slope.
