History
Pete Seeger remembered hearing of the floating bathhouses dotting the perimeter of Manhattan in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and it was long his dream to have such a flow-through pool in the Hudson River. As our founding partner and member Pete Seeger believed, we know that the stewardship of a great river can begin on a summer afternoon, one child, one laugh, one splash at a time. Come join us!
Specialties
The design of the partially submerged pool is environmentally sensitive and makes for a safe wading area that protects bathers from boaters and currents. With a permeable floor and sides that work as a below-water fence, the twenty-foot diameter wading pool allows river water to flow through it. lifeguards are always present when the pool is open.. During the summer months, the pool is open Tuesday through Sunday - Noon to 6pm (weather permitting).
