The Borough of Dormont would like to welcome our Dormont Pool patrons back for the 2023 Dormont Pool summer season under new management… Our own! No longer will there be a 1-800 number to dial an outside management company. Instead, we will have a new pool management team that works as part of the Borough to assist and serve the pools guests and team members. Our focus will be providing a safe experience that allows families, neighbors, and team members to continue creating lasting memories at the Dormont Pool, in an inclusive and clean atmosphere. Safe, Clean, FUN for everyone!
