Brooklyn Bridge Park ‘Pop-Up Pool’ opens with a splash
Brooklyn Bridge Park opened its “Pop-Up Pool” on Wednesday morning with a preview splash party for BBP Conservancy members.
The sparkling little pool quickly filled with excited children, parents and assorted waders escaping from the 90-degree heat. After their swim, some snoozed under the giant umbrellas set up in the sandy beach or gulped down artisanal lemonade from a new concessionaire this year, Lizzmonade Brooklyn.
Brooklyn Heights resident Audrey Meyer, 16 months, splashed in the pool with mom Tammy Himes. “We’re so happy its back this summer,” Himes said.
“The water is great!” said a boy rushing to get back in before his 45 minutes ran out.
