The City of Poughkeepsie officially began its Pulaski Pool House construction project.

The $2.4 million pool house for Pulaski Park and Spratt Park Pool is expected to open with extended hours this season on June 30.

The city demolished the old pool house at Pulaski.

It is using American Rescue Act funds to cover the cost of the new one.

The new pool house will include a men's room, women's room, family bathrooms, lifeguard room, office welcome desk, storage area and a kitchen.
