Plans to remake the McCarren Park Pool, one of eleven WPA pools opened around the city in 1936, took one step closer to becoming reality when the city released renderings yesterday of the Rogers Marvel designs. The most notable aspect of the design is a large jetty jutting out into the middle of the pool that in the winter would double as an ice skating rink. The city is chomping champing at the bit to start spending the estimated $50 million it’ll take to build this. The biggest hurdle remaining? Sign-off from the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
