City of Poughkeepsie Pools Open This Weekend

POUGHKEEPSIE – The City of Poughkeepsie will open both of its pools on Saturday, June 29 and will begin by dedicating the new pool house at Pulaski Park.

Last year, Pulaski Pool was closed due to the construction of the pool house. The new facility includes a men’s room, women’s room, family bathrooms, lifeguard room, office welcome desk, and storage and kitchen areas.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the pool house will take place at 10:30 a.m. at Pulaski Pool,162 Washington Street, and the pool will then be open to the public. Spratt Park Pool at 121 Wilbur Boulevard will open at noon that day.

For the rest of the season, both pools will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day. Swim lessons will be offered at Pulaski Pool from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday, and adult lap swim will take place from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. each day at Spratt Pool.

Entrance fees are being waived again this year but, this year, you must register for a pool pass. Application forms can be found online at www.cityofpoughkeepsie.com/pools and can be filled out in advance and then brought to City Hall Lobby, 62 Civic Center Plaza, on the dates and times listed on the website.
