New York, NY – NYC Parks and Recreation, in partnership with The New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM), the East Harlem Aging Improvement District and the office of New York City Council Member Melissa Mark-Viverito, is pleased to announce the launch of special senior hours at the Thomas Jefferson Park Pool for the summer 2011 season. As a result of requests from older adults in the East Harlem community, the Thomas Jefferson Park Pool will hold a senior swim session every Tuesday and Thursday from 9 to 11 a.m.
Councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito and staff from the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation and NYAM will be on hand to kick off these new senior hours on July 7. With music provided by El Museo del Barrio, water safety and exercise classes, and many giveaways, this seniors-only pool party is sure to be a great way for the older adults of the East Harlem community to get out in their neighborhood, go for a swim, and take advantage of their local park and pool.
The event is part of Age-friendly New York City, a collaborative effort to respond to and benefit from this population change, led by the Office of the Mayor, the New York City Council, and NYAM. Age-friendly NYC has several neighborhood-level projects aiming to make improvements for older adults called Aging Improvement Districts. The city's first is in East Harlem.
