Dormont’s Historic Pool Makes a Splash
July 16th, 2008 categories: Dormont, Mt. Lebanon, Scott Township, South Side, Upper St. Clair
This 160-foot by 420-foot gem in Dormont – slightly smaller than the state of Delaware, it’s the largest public pool in Pennsylvania and the only one designated a landmark — is the core of the town, a place where mothers and fathers and grandparents congregate to chat, catch-up, compare tans, socialize and, of course, swim. It’s just a bit after noon, the pool has just opened, and the towels and chairs are already being placed on the concrete “beach.”
Amy Torcaso, the pool’s manager for the past 23 years, says that on a really good (read: hot) day, about 1,500 people visit the pool; that number hit 2,500 one July 4 weekend in early 2000.
