McCarren Park Pool

McCarren Park Pool
124 Bedford Ave.
Brooklyn, NY 11211
This former urban swimming hole (capacity 6,800!) in Williamsburg's McCarren Park has long been drained and hosts a random bill of acts to match the neighborhood’'s patchwork scene. (Bands playing the massive concrete playground have included Cat Power, Sonic Youth and, inexplicably, the Disco Biscuits). Catch free shows on Sundays all summer long and pack your swimsuit -- the now-infamous Slip 'n Slide will be open for business.
