WARWICK – Senator James Skoufis (D-Orange County) joined Supervisor Jesse Dwyer, Mayor Mike Newhard, town employees, and residents for a ribbon cutting to officially re-open the Mountain Lake Park Pool after extensive renovation. The costs of the renovation were funded with $750,000 secured by Skoufis.
The pool’s re-opening came just in time for summer as Warwick students are concluding their school year. The renovation included a much-needed addition of a third pool – dedicated to and designed for small children – as well as improvements to the property’s facade and safety features, new picnic tables, and upgrades to the facility’s filter and mechanical systems.
“Investing in community and recreational spaces has always been a priority for me,” said Senator Skoufis. “A public pool can be far more than just a place to cool off in the summer, and Warwick’s facility is truly a cornerstone. I was delighted to secure this grant and I’m proud to work with municipal partners like Supervisor Dwyer and Mayor Newhard, who I can always count on to deliver on these types of projects. It’s wonderful to think of the generations of Warwick families who will benefit from these efforts.”
“On behalf of the Town of Warwick, I want to thank Senator James Skoufis for securing grant funding to repair and upgrade the Mountain Lake Park pool complex, including the construction of a new kiddie pool,” said Town of Warwick Supervisor Dwyer. “These improvements are long overdue and will ensure local families can enjoy these facilities for years to come. Senator Skoufis has been a tremendous partner in bringing state tax dollars back to Warwick and helping us invest in projects that directly benefit our residents.”
