🌊🏊♂️ Celebrate Parks and Recreation Month with Saratoga Associates! 🏊♀️🌊 This July, we’re highlighting the incredible transformations in Schenectady’s Central Park, especially the new Central Park Pool. Designed by Saratoga Associates, this pool is a true community gem, offering accessibility for all ages and abilities. The new facility was developed in response to issues with the old swim area at Iroquois Lake, which faced challenges with code compliance, maintenance, and safety. Our team, in collaboration with the City and local stakeholders, crafted a design that serves everyone in the community. Key features of the new Central Park Pool include: - Lap lanes for fitness enthusiasts 🏊♂️ - A zero-entry area and wading area for easy access 🌊 - Resistance walk and jet features for fun and therapy 🚶♀️💦 - Patio space and lawn area for relaxation 🌳 - A new equipment and storage building 🏢 - A seasonal bathhouse with restrooms and changing areas 🚻 But that’s not all! The project also includes: - A vibrant new splash pad for kids 🎉 - Ample seating and picnic space for family gatherings 🧺 - Bicycle racks and a new parking lot for easy access 🚲🚗 - Improved sidewalks for better park connectivity 🛤️ - Enhanced signage and lighting for safety and wayfinding 🛑🔆 Join us in celebrating how this revitalized space brings the community together and embodies the essence of belonging. Whether you’re swimming, splashing, or simply relaxing, Central Park Pool is Where You Belong! #ParksAndRecMonth #SaratogaAssociates #CentralParkPool #WhereYouBelong #CommunityStrong #AccessibleForAll National Recreation and Park Association City of Schenectady

📢 Exciting News! 🎉 This weekend, Saratoga Associates joined New City Parks (NCP) and City of Poughkeepsie partners to celebrate the grand reopening of the Pulaski Pool House and Pool! 💦🏊♂️ Originally constructed in 1957, the Pulaski Pool House had fallen into disrepair and was closed for many years. In 2021, NCP initiated a community-led design process for a complete rebuild of the pool and pool house complex. Thanks to their efforts and a $500,000 Environmental Protection Fund grant from New York State, we were able to transform the facility with a $3.3 million overhaul! We are thrilled to see this project come to fruition and look forward to seeing the community enjoy this beautiful new space for years to come. Thank you to everyone who made this possible! #PulaskiPoolHouse #GrandReopening #Community #SaratogaAssociates #NewCityParks #CityofPoughkeepsie #Transformation #Celebration #PublicSpaces
