Bigger and Better, Kittrell Pool Reopens in White Plains

Just as temperatures in White Plains hit the 90s, Kittrell Pool in White Plains has re-opened to the public after a year of renovation.

The pool was built in 1970. The revamped and revitalized space will surely be a site for continued family fun, officials said.

“Kittrell Pool has always seen heavy usage by camp groups and residents,” said Mayor Tom Roach in a prepared statement. “This investment ensures that all White Plains residents will have a high quality aquatic facility at their disposal.”

The new pool utilized a portion of the old pool shell and then expanded upon it. It boasts a modern pool design, a new operating system, a new deck surface, lap lanes, improvements to changing rooms, lockers and showers and new patio and lifeguard chairs. Additionally, the city has made improvements that make the pool more accessible. These improvements include: zero–depth entry, which is also great for small children, an ADA compliant walkway, entrances, bathrooms, exits, showers, changing rooms and a new aquatic wheelchair and lift assist.

Kittrell Pool is located at the corner of Fisher Avenue and Irving Place. The pool entrance is on Fisher Avenue.

It is open from noon - 6:30 p.m. daily and until 7:30 P.M. on Wednesdays.

“Kittrell Pool was in need of an upgrade and I am thrilled with the result,“ said City Recreation and Parks Commissioner Wayne Bass. “Our residents can now enjoy a modern pool design and new features.”

Pool admission is free to those with a valid, current Rec/Parks ID card. ID cards can be purchased at the Rec/Parks Office, located at 85 Gedney Way, Monday - Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 5:15 p.m., and Saturdays 9:00 a.m. - Noon.

ID cards cost $11 / adult and $7 / youth and are valid for one year. Proof of residence must be presented at purchase.
