About
Public swimming facility suitable for children.
As an indoor public pool, Clougherty Pool is typically heated for comfortable, year-round use. While a specific, consistently published temperature is not readily available, DCR indoor pools are generally maintained at a standard comfortable temperature for swimming, often around 78-82°F (25-28°C).
What are people saying (AI review summary)? The pool recently underwent a complete renovation, reopening in summer 2024, resulting in a gorgeous, modern, and very clean facility. It features a lap pool and a separate, accessible, zero-entry children's/family pool with a wheelchair ramp and fun water spray structures, including a mushroom waterfall. Family restrooms with hot and cold showers are also available. Reviewers highly recommend the pool, praising its suitability for small children and the relaxing atmosphere with amazing views. Common points for improvement include a wish for more shade and the observation that the pool closes earlier than the advertised time (6:30 PM instead of 7 PM). Weekend visits require free online registration for Boston residents, and parking is noted as limited street parking.

edit* photos that you first see when you search for this pool are not accurate because they have since completely gutted and re-did the pool! 💦🐟)) however my photos were taken on 7/5/2025 and are accurate! regardless, they completely renovated & re-did the pool! it re-opened last summer (2024) & it’s an absolutely gorgeous pool/facility! it has 1 lap pool and 1 children & family friendly, modern, accessible, zero entry pool with a built in wheelchair ramp. the pool also has some fun water spray structures such as a mushroom waterfall. they also have family restrooms/changing rooms with HOT & cold showers. ☺️💖both pools are very clean. 🤩 ‼️it should be said- that you have to register yourself and/your family or guests on WEEKENDS via their website. (must be boston resident however it’s FREE!💖) ➡️a note on parking-2 hour street parking and charlestown resident only street parking. love this pool and highly reccomend it!

They say they close at 7 but they actually kick everyone out of the pool at 6:30. The renovation is great for the small kids. Wish there was a little more shade available.

Incredible local pool with a shallow pool that is separate and just for the kids. Wish there was a little more shade but apart from that it's perfect
