The World’s First Water-Filtrating, Floating Pool

Part of the Street Program

+ POOL is the world’s first water-filtrating, floating pool designed to clean 600,000 gallons of New York river water every single day. In addition to contributing to the health of our city’s waters, + POOL offers kids, sports, lap, and lounge pools. Each can be used independently, combined to form an Olympic-length pool, or opened completely into a 9,000-square-foot pool for play in one of New York City’s best natural resources. The project was launched on Kickstarter and quickly became the largest crowd-funded civic project of all time, galvanizing the local New York community around the right to clean water.
