I use it all the time, as I do not have a bicycle to get to the Red Hook pool (which as of June 26th will not have bus service!) I would rather be charged a couple of dollars as an entry fee rather than have select pools be closed. This greatly effects the community and I question what the criteria were for deciding which pools would be chosen for closure.

The pool is used for recreation by large groups of kids and adults. On hot summer days it's a great way for people in the neighborhood to get exercise and learn healthful habits. Closing the pool has consequences far beyond budget projections.

There are many kids out of school with nowhere to go; better to direct their energies into a cool swimming pool than on to the hot streets. In the long run it will save the city money by keeping kids safely occupied during the hot summer days.

So do our neighbors, many of whom live in the projects or on very limited incomes. There are so few park facilities in this neighborhood, and reductions in bus service make it harder to get to other neighborhoods. Your PlaNYC policy calls for better access to parks, not less.

The workers do not clean it up and all the debris are in the park. Residents do not clean up after their dogs and we need to have this monitored by the park workers to advise them not to leave their dog poop in the park. We also need to have the park clean up at intervals so that people can have leisurely walks in the park.
