New Public Pool in CD1: Neighboring community boards have outdoor public pools which are free for public use during the summer, whereas CD1 has none. CD1's indoor community pools, such as those at Manhattan Youth, BMCC and Stuyvesant High School, have fees to swim and are rarely if ever open to the general public. Swimming lessons are very expensive and few children can participate because there are limited spots even if one can afford to pay. Now that +Pool will not be designed for CD1, a local public pool must be considered for the CD1 area. For example, a small pop up pool in a shipping container as they have at Brooklyn Bridge Park in Brooklyn, or an above-ground pool to minimize costs. CD1 should have an outdoor summer pool that is free for all; as neighboring Community Districts do.
