Dormont Pool

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!
