Red Hook Pool Still Closed in Heat Wave | New York City News
Description
Brooklyn’s Red Hook public pool—critical for cooling down during a deadly heat wave—is still closed, with repairs now projected until late July after a flooded filter plant destroyed key equipment. Residents, especially families in the area’s largest public housing complex, are furious and desperate for relief as temperatures soar past 100 degrees. While officials promise a clearer reopening timeline soon, the nearest alternative pool is over a mile away, making the closure a serious public safety crisis. Meanwhile, another nearby pool shut down briefly after an unsanitary incident—highlighting how vital and fragile these community lifelines are.
