Ixnay on the Prospect Park Pool Idea?

There appears to have been a rather tepid response by to the idea of putting a pool into Prospect Park as part of replacing the Wollman Rink and restoring the Prospect Park Lake and Concert Island to their original configurations. The idea was discussed at a meeting last week. Blogger Across the Park conveys some information about the pool conversation, including an observer's notation that "It was clear Wednesday meeting that Tupper Thomas, president of the Prospect Park Alliance, is not too keen on having a pool in Prospect Park, and I also got a vibe from the goverment reps in the room that they didn't much like the idea either." Objections include aesthetics, cost and the fact there are already a number of public pool in Brooklyn. Read more over at Across the Park.
