Sunset Park opens pool season with celebration
Summer fun is back at Sunset.
A celebration was held on Friday, June 26 at Sunset Park Pool for the annual opening of the neighborhood’s prime summer destination, as well as pools citywide.
New York City Parks Commissioner Mitchell Silver was on hand, dressed in his swimming gear, to partake in the occasion. “Let me just say how humbling this is to be out of my normal suit and attire but I’m here to celebrate a summer of fun for the kids and all the families,” he said. “Swimming is one of the best ways to stay active and to get exercise, whether as a competitive sport or to just have fun and be healthy.”
