is temporarily closed today, July 9, due to high temperatures
indoors. The center will
reopen once the facility
reaches a lower temperature.
Red Hook Pool is temporarily closed. Just before the pool was scheduled to open, there was a major, unexpected failure in the equipment which operates the pool. We are working to make needed repairs as quickly as possible, but it will take time to receive some of the required parts. We anticipate opening in mid-August.
We apologize for the inconvenience and encourage you to visit other Brooklyn pools such as Douglass & Degraw (250 Douglass Street) or Sunset Pool (7th Ave & 41st St).
