Thanks to Dig Dormont for the placement and care of the plants and flowers at the pool!



The beautification certainly adds a nice touch to our beloved pool.

A big thanks also goes out to Verizon for donating Wi-Fi wireless Internet access in the pool area!

And we also have a new sound system at the pool! No more megaphone for Doggy Swims!



With your help, the following items were also recently completed:

  • Painting of the benches along the great lawn on the side of the pool
  • Purchase of a floating volleyball net
  • A mural in the womens locker room that coincided with the 100th anniversary of Dormont Borough.
  • Purchase of new heavy-duty picnic tables
  • Resurfacing of the 4-foot slides
  • Awnings for the pool
  • Past funding of the port-a-potties at the shallow end of the pool
  • Presented the borough with a check for $5,000 to assist in direct operating costs



The Friends of Dormont Pool
would like to thank the
Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.

In 2009, Dormont Borough was on the receiving end of $436,000 from the Pennsylvania DCNR to assist in the renovations of the pool!

$165,000 more is also expected to be received. The financial support from the DCNR is for sandblasting, painting and work on the bath house.

The grants provided by the DCNR have been instrumental in many of the completed, ongoing and upcoming repairs to the pool.




Your continued support makes a difference. This past year, the Friends of Dormont Pool were able to present a $50,000 check to Dormont Borough!
