Free Summer Stuff: NYC's Public Pools

WNYC News | Aug 3, 2017

As part of WNYC’s Affordability Project, we’re collecting strategies for free summer entertainment. And when it's hot, the over 50 free public pools in New York City become a real life-saver for many residents, especially kids whose parents aren’t spending (or can't afford to spend) big bucks for summer camp.

What are some of your other free summer activities? Tweet @WNYC with #affordnyc or comment below.
