When near water there are several things to keep in mind to keep you and your family safe:
Because of a collaboration between Boston Public Schools, Boston Centers for Youth & Families, the Public Facilities Department, and the Property Management Department, investments of City funding, and improved facilities assessment, the City is on track to have more pools open this year than in previous summers, including the BCYF Clougherty, Hennigan, Marshall, Mattahunt, and Perkins pools. BCYF Marshall Community Center pool opened in fall 2023 and the BCYF Mattahunt opened recently. The Hennigan and Perkins are expected to be open this summer as is the Clougherty Pool, which is undergoing a two-year renovation. This fiscal year, Mayor Wu allocated $34.3 million in the FY24-FY28 capital plan for repairing and renovating the city's pools.
A full list of the City's pools and their operating hours can be found here. Additionally, the City's splash pads and water features are already operational. A map of those water features can be found here.
BCYF is also operating programming for registered youth at community centers across the city this summer. Learn more about BCYF's programming atBoston.gov/BCYF. These programs are in addition to a variety of expanded BCYF programming for teensand 900 youth jobs hosted at BCYF community centers through the Mayor's Summer Jobs Program.
