BCYF Clougherty Pool

BCYF Clougherty is an outdoor pool which operates from June to September. 

BCYF’s network of community centers and pools offer a wide range of diverse features and programs that are as unique as the neighborhoods they serve.

Summer Pool Procedures

Please read carefully as there are several procedures in place to ensure the safety of pool visitors. 

  • Visitors must create a free membership in our registration system and you will be checked in when you arrive at the pool. We are no longer accepting pre-registration for lap swim or recreational swim at this time.

  • If the pool reaches capacity, visitors will be asked to wait until space is available.

  • Preference will be given to Boston residents.

  • Three children under 12 are allowed per adult. Children under 8 need an adult in the water with them.

BCYF Clougherty Pool Design Process

The Public Facilities Department (PFD), Boston Centers for Youth and Families (BCYF), and the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services are working with architects and landscape designers on the renovation of the pool. The public meeting presentations can be found in this section.
