The final cost to repair and renovate the Newton Municipal Pool came in at $492,000. The pool was closed until August of 2020 while work was being completed. After re-opening going to the pool was free for Newton residents. Now that perk has been extended by the town council for all of the summer of 2021. I didn't grow up in Newton. The city I grew up in had a municipal pool similar to the Newton Pool. It was a wonderful part of my childhood. My mom lived in Newton for many years before she passed away. She loved taking my kids (her grand kids) to the Newton Municipal Pool. I hope all of my friends in Newton enjoy their beautiful renovated pool this summer. Then decide to continue to support it in years to come.
