Parsons The New School for Design has joined with NYC Parks & Recreation through the Design Workshop, its innovative design-build studio led by graduate architecture students, to create a new pool pavilion, Splash House, for the Highbridge Pool and Recreation Center, a WPA–era bathhouse in Washington Heights. The project represents the first of a five-year initiative between NYC Parks & Recreation and Parsons Design Workshop to identify and implement improvements in public spaces across the city.

Your bicycle is marked with a unique identification number using an engraver. A NYPD decal is affixed to the bicycle, which is difficult to remove. In the event that it is removed, the word "void" appears on what remains of the decal. In the event that the bicycle is stolen and recovered, it can be traced back to the owner through I.D. number. Call Police Officer Angela Williams, the 34th Precinct Crime Prevention Officer, at 212-927-9301 to schedule your registration today.
