City confirms Spratt Park pool will open on schedule; bathhouse to undergo post-season rebuild
Summary
Officials said Spratt Park pool will open for the season as planned and that its bathhouse will be renovated after the season; details on timing and budget were not provided at the meeting.
Peter Van Aken, a Poughkeepsie resident, asked department heads whether Spratt Park pool will open on schedule and whether the bathhouse would be renovated in time for the season.
Terry Clayton, representing the Department of Public Works, answered that Spratt Pool "will open on time," and that the bathhouse will receive a full rebuild after the pool season ends. "It'll look completely new," Clayton said, adding that the building will be renovated rather than demolished.
Clayton also said the project will include fencing and a splash pool to increase capacity. No construction start date, completion date, contractor name, or funding source was provided at the meeting. Questions about timelines and capital-plan funding were referred to follow-up communication by staff.
Van Aken also asked about other park and recreation projects listed in the 2025–2029 capital improvement plan, including lighting upgrades at Spratt Park ball fields; those items were not discussed in detail during the meeting and staff said they would provide additional information in writing.
The pool and bathhouse remarks occurred during public comment; the council did not vote or take formal action on the pool or bathhouse during the session.
