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.
