The renovations, which were were completed by ELQ Industries, Norberto Pools, and Clough Harbour & Associates, include a new children’s aquatic spray ground, a child-friendly pool and a refurbished concessions area, as well as an upgraded bathhouse and bathrooms. The pool also features a new deck and filtration system, while a separate wading pool has a "zero-depth" entry and a maximum depth of 40 inches. 

Fees to use the pool range from $3-$10 per person depending on age and if you have a county park pass. If you don't have a park pass, you must show Westchester proof of residency or be a guest of a Westchester resident.
