Dive Into a Landmark...Someday

We guess it's better late than never.

On Tuesday, the Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to landmark McCarren Park Pool in Greenpoint, as well as the Sunset Park pool and another in East Harlem. Read the full press release here.

Now the pools just have to have their status approved by 51 landmark professionals we like to call the City Council.

Of course, that doesn't make McCarren Pool any less of an eyesore, but the city has set aside $50 million to makeover the pool, and is currently looking for ideas on its future. The Open Space Alliance, in conjunction with the Parks Department, is actually passing out a survey, which you will be able to find printed in future editions of the Greenpoint Star.
