The heat index is in the triple digits this week. Why is the Red Hook Pool still closed?   New Yorkers rely on public pools as a critical lifeline on hot summer days. We've got to hold NYC Parks accountable for reopening the pool as quickly as possible. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/07/29/why…

Good news! The spray pad at Red Hook Pool is now open daily from 10am–7pm, providing relief while the main pool remains closed. Thanks to 300+ petition signers, Alexa Avilés 🌹 愛麗莎, State Senator Andrew Gounardes, Brad Lander, CB6 & Friends of Red Hook Pool for keeping the pressure on this issue.

NEW: I’m partnering with New Yorkers for Parks, cmjuliewon.bsky.social & orgs to launch a petition to reclaim space under the Queensboro Bridge. We want NYC Hall to: 1️⃣ Restore the Queensbridge Baby Park for public use 2️⃣ Convert lots under the Bridge into open space 3️⃣ Increase open space with new parks

The abrupt and prolonged closure of the Red Hook Pool is cause for serious concern—and NYC Parks should reopen it as quickly as possible. A open, accessible pool will make a big splash in keeping Brooklynites cool this record-hot summer. 🌊brooklyneagle.com/articles/2025/…

No highway expansions! Instead of pouring billions into highways, NYC must invest in solutions that expand green space, reconnect neighborhoods, and give people safe, sustainable ways to get around. New Yorkers for Parks is a proud member of the Stop the Cross Bronx Expansion Coalition.

To combat significant flooding in Riverside Park, we’ve started a new "Special Services" team led by Ben Adamo. The crew is focused on storm mitigation, erosion control, and filling in sinkholes. ow.ly/JOCB50WE76f
