The Peirce Island Pool has been the swimming hole for children and adults since its inception in 1937, and was recently refurbished in 2003 with a new deck, fence and play area.

The pool is 100 yards in length, 33 yards in width and has a depth sloping from 14 inches down to 6 feet. It's a relaxing, fun environment that provides plenty of swimming space for all ages and abilities and is the perfect place to spend a hot summer afternoon.
