Deciding which swimming pools to open during the warmer months and how to pay for necessary repairs have been ongoing questions in Watertown for nearly a decade.
The pool at Thompson Park closed after the 2013 season due to its deteriorating condition. Members of the City Council debated whether to proceed with renovations for several years, given the mounting costs.
In 2019, the council approved a $3.1 million project to reconstruct a new pool and bathhouse at Thompson Park. However, it didnât open last year until August as a result of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Council members initially voted to permanently close the Steve D. Alteri Municipal Swimming Pool at the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds last year to save money. But expensive repairs needed for the William J. Flynn Pool at North Elementary School put demolition plans for the Alteri pool on hold.
