The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Washington Park Pool in Waterbury, Connecticut took place on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at 10 a.m.2. This event marked the official reopening of the fully renovated pool, which was part of a broader $10 million investment in public recreation across the city.
Attendees included:
- Mayor Paul Pernerewski, Jr., who emphasized the city’s commitment to accessible, high-quality recreational spaces
- City officials and Parks Department representatives
- While the article specifically names Congresswoman Jahana Hayes as a speaker at the Fulton Park Pool ceremony, it’s likely that similar dignitaries and community leaders were present at Washington Park as well
