Thomas Jefferson Park’s facilities were expanded in the 1930s according to the vision of Parks Commissioner Robert Moses. Its grand opening on June 27, 1936 marked the dedication of the second of ten pools to open that summer. Ten thousand people attended the ceremony celebrating "the last word in engineering, hygiene and construction." Almost 70 years later, thousands of area residents still enjoy the pool during the summer and innovative afterschool programming for children and teens and athletics for all ages offered throughout the year.
