Lincoln Park Pool

< >

Here’s the Story

Historically, the Lincoln Park Pool has served as a public gathering space for Albany’s South End but has since fallen into disrepair. Unlike more affluent neighborhoods, this area has not had access to a public recreational facility.

Giving Back

BFG made a $1 million donation to restore the space and create a state-of-the-art facility for families and friends to enjoy the hot summer days. Co-Founder Ed Mitzen was chosen by Albany Mayor Kathy Sheehan to chair the restoration committee, and is at work raising $10 million for the venture. With a zero-entry pool, spray features, a half-size Olympic lap pool, a snack bar, and plenty of room to lounge, there will be something for all ages to enjoy. This is a project everyone can benefit from, as it serves to build a sense of pride in the South End community.

Moving Forward

We’re thrilled to announce that the Lincoln Park Pool renovation is officially underway! With your support, we’re making waves towards a brighter, more inclusive community space. Every contribution brings us closer to our goal of unveiling the new Lincoln Park Pool on July 4, 2025.
