Boston's Pools Opening Soon for Summer

Soon, you'll be able to cool down in a city pool any day of the week.

The city announced on Monday that Boston's 10 Centers for Youth and Families (BCYF) city swimming pools and one city beach will stay open every day of the week starting on June 29. 

In addition to the 10 pools open seven days a week, all of the city's pools will be open on Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. During the week, pool hours will vary depending on location. 

Luckily for Charlestown residents, one pool that will remain open all week is the Charlestown Community Center's Clougherty Pool, located at 331 Bunker Hill St.

Clougherty Pool will host a summer kick-off party on Satuday, June 22 from 1-4 p.m. All Charlestown residents and friends are invited to attend. The roofdeck patio and snack bar will open for the season, and cake, slush and other refreshments will be served. DJ Jack Kelly will be spinning tunes.

This year marks the second in a row Boston has decided to open its pools early. 

“With the warm weather on its way, we want our residents to be able to beat the heat seven days a week,” Mayor Thomas Menino said. “We have amazing facilities in the city, and I encourage all our families to take advantage of them.”

The BCYF pools that will be open seven days a week this summer include:

• BCYF Blackstone (South End)
• BCYF Clougherty (Charlestown) - outdoor pool
• BCYF Curley Beach (South Boston) - beach
• BCYF Curtis Hall (Jamaica Plain)
