The Gottesman Pool, part of the new $160 million Davis Center near Harlem Meer, is one of the largest public pools in NYC, accommodating over 1,000 swimmers. Its opening marks a transformation from the outdated Lasker Rink & Pool, generating excitement among locals who compare it to an oasis. Designed to blend with the park's surroundings, the pool features modern amenities and is free for public use. It will also serve as a turf field in the fall and an ice rink in winter, showcasing its versatility.
This is a hundred times better," said Carlos Arcas, a retired airline worker. "When sitting here, I don't feel like I'm in New York. They did some job over here."
It's great. So many people have been stopping by the gate, and just asking when we're going to open," said Mark Focht, the chief operating officer of the city parks department.
