There's a lot to choose from. Brady said the water park at Halloran will be one of two in the city. The other will be on the East Side. With seven parks in the ward, Brady said, Halloran was chosen because the water pipes and other infrastructure for the existing pool, already in place, allow for the new project to be completed at lower cost. The water is very shallow.
Small children can play in it.
Other improvements now, Brady said, will include drawing boundary and other lines for a soccer field next to West 117th Street, beyond the outfield lines for the ball diamonds. In addition, she said, a walkway around the park will be completed on the West 117th Street side. And she said there will be a pathway through the park from the south end to the north end to the pool. Brady said the water park will not have a slide, probably to avoid higher insurance costs.
