TONY DAPOLITO POOL CLOSED THIS SEASON
Unfortunately the Tony Dapolito Pool will be closed this season due to construction that began in September 2020 — and sounds like may continue for a while. The Parks Department is reconstructing exterior sections of the recreation center and bringing the facility into a state of good repair. An expanded scope of work may be needed to stabilize the building’s west facade, which faces the outdoor pool. “We are in the process of identifying next steps and will report back to the community on any further possible impact to the pool.”

THE MAKING OF PIER 26
Hudson River Park has incorporated Carl Glassman’s photos of the construction of Pier 26 into an outdoor exhibit — the series of pictures are now mounted as a windscreen on the fence surrounding the last unbuilt parcel of land in the Tribeca section of the park. (Plus this way I can run Carl’s photos in the Citizen.)
