As summer winds down, we’re taking one more look at a season well spent at Clougherty Pool in Charlestown.
The renovated pools reopened last summer, and the newly updated bathhouse renovation was completed this summer. With the entire facility now operational, the Charlestown community has been making the most of all that this cherished neighborhood resource has to offer. Children playing in the family pool, recreational swimmers doing laps, and neighbors relaxing in the sun — there are now plenty of ways for everyone to beat the heat.
The renovation introduced a six-lane lap pool, a zero-entry family pool with interactive water features, expanded seating and shade, and accessible entries throughout, all shaped through an extensive community engagement process.
Originally opened in 1949, Clougherty Pool has long been a neighborhood fixture. It was a delight to work with the City of Boston and the Charlestown community to build on that legacy to create a more inclusive, versatile place for recreation and connection.
