POUGHKEEPSIE – The City of Poughkeepsie pool in Pulaski Park was closed for the 2023 swimming season as the longstanding pool house was demolished and a new, modern facility was constructed in its place. The $2.4 million project is nearing completion in time for the 2024 swimming season.
City officials used American Rescue Plan Act funding to pay for the project.
The new pool house will include a men’s room, women’s room, family bathrooms, lifeguard room, office welcome desk, storage area, and a kitchen.
The project was a priority for former Poughkeepsie Mayors Rob Rolison and Marc Nelson. While announcing the project last year, then-Mayor Nelson said, “We know how important our public pools are to city residents, and we believe we have found a solid solution while we make long-term improvements at Pulaski.”
