A floating swimming pool for New York s East River designed by PlayLab has been approved by city planners ten years after it was first proposed.
Non-profit organiser +Pool has received an official confirmation to proceed with due diligence from New York s Economic Development Corporation and can go ahead with logistics planning.
A provisional site for the project, which will clean the river water without chemicals and will include a lap pool and an area for children, has been assigned to the north of Manhattan Bridge. Completion is expected within two years.
PlayLab developed the concept for the floating pool over ten years ago
