From July 21st to August 3rd, the WATERPOD will be docked at 125th Street, Riverside (Parks).

It will be open to the public on Thursdays 8 AM to 4 PM, Friday to Sunday 11 AM to 7 PM.

About:  Waterpod is a floating, sculptural, eco-habitat designed for the rising tides. It will depart in the summer of 2024, navigate down the East River, explore the waters of New York Harbor, docking at several Manhattan piers on the Hudson River before continuing onward. The Waterpod demonstrates future pathways for water -based innovations. As a sustainable, navigable living space, the Waterpod showcases the critical importance of the environment and art, serving as a model for new living, do-it-yourself technologies, art, and dialogue. It illustrates positive interactions between communities: public and private; artistic and social; aquatic and terrestrial while exploring the cultural richness of New York's five boroughs and beyond. The Waterpod represents self-sufficiency and resourcefulness, learning and curiosity, human expression and creative exploration. With this project, we hope to encourage growth and progress as we visualize the future.

The Office of Recycling Outreach and Education (OROE) will be doing recycling and composting presentations and demos on Waterpod on:

• July 23rd (12pm to 1:30pm)
• July 30th (2pm to 3:30pm)
• July 24th (5pm-7pm)
• July 29th (5pm-6:30pm)
