Highbridge Pool Reopens In Washington Heights For The Summer
It is the lone public pool in Washington Heights, but it is fully open again after repair work last year.
WASHINGTON HEIGHTS, NY — The summer season is upon us and that means public pools are back open across New York City, including in Washington Heights.
Free public pools opened in the city on Thursday and will remain open until Sept. 10.
"Our outdoor pools are amazing amenities for New Yorkers, offering free places to cool off on hot days, have fun, and get some exercise," said Parks Commissioner Sue Donoghue said in a news release. "I look forward to seeing everyone out at our pools this summer, and remember – always follow the directions of our lifeguards, and never leave children unattended in and around the pool.”
