The BCYF Paris Street Pool, located at 113 Paris Street in East Boston, will reopen with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, July 6, at 10:30 a.m., following a $8.9 million, three year renovation. All are invited to the celebration.

The building was completely renovated including upgrades to the mechanical systems, bathrooms and locker rooms, and the pool. There is a modified main entrance and lobby area, reconfigured interior spaces and exterior upgrades which make it a more inviting and user-friendly space.

There will be no charge for membership or programming but visitors need to create a membership at Boston.gov/BCYF-Registration. Registration for classes and programs can be found on the pool’s webpage, Boston.gov/BCYF-Paris-Street-Pool, once the pool opens.

Barrier Breakers: From Jackie to Pumpsie, is a virtual companion to permanent and traveling exhibitions developed by the Negro Leagues Baseball Musuem.

Despite Major League Baseball’s 60-year, self-imposed color barrier that denied players of color the opportunity to play baseball within their organization, the Negro Leagues established their own teams and forged a glorious history during an inglorious era of American segregation. We highlight the obstacles players of color faced, what they did to overcome the challenges of prejudice and social injustice in this country and how their talent, passion and perseverance changed Major League Baseball and America.

Come share an experience on the mat that will cultivate your physical, mental and spiritual well being. This class is excellent for beginners and students who enjoy gentle exercise. Stretch and strengthen the body as we progress together through various postures. You will learn functional alignment. If you like to move at a slower pace and want to clear your mind, this class is a great fit for you. Mostly, I will make the class fun and joyful as we wind down the day together on the mat!
