Digging Into Double D

The city pools are scheduled to open at the end of June. Is the July date for DD pool due to this testing?

Why is it sometimes called "Double D Park"?

has two names: Double D cause it's between Douglass & Degraw

That's one Double D you don't want to slip your hands underneath!

I just met with someone from parks (on an unrelated topic) and was told all city parks open July 4.

nyc website says 6/28 as opening day for city pools. 7/4 seems awfully late.

It's called Double D pool, but I've never heard the park called anything but Thomas Greene Park (if it's called anything -- it's mostly deserted). The first poster is right: coal to gas plant back around the turn of the century. Anyone want to weigh in on whether the pool is safe? :(

The pool is great, we regard it as our backyard. REally nice toddler wading pool too.

Frankly, I'd sort of be glad if Park Slope sahm types continued to travel to Red Hook Pool or their beach clubs and stayed away. But that's rather selfish, so I'll squelch the sentiment.

It's a great place, really nice workers, seriously refreshing, and rarely too crowded.

Like all city pools, it opens this Saturday.
