Welcome to the Borough of Hawthorne

The Hawthorne Pool began operation in the spring of 1955. The pool is a recreational gem, and is the perfect place for families and neighbors to get together in their community and make some wonderful summer memories!

There are two pools at the complex. One is a 3,000 gallon circular wading pool which ranges in depth from 1 foot at the perimeter to 1 foot 6 inches at the center. This pool is intended for use by young (under age 7) children only. All children entering the kiddie pool area must be accompanied by a responsible parent or appropriate guardian.

The main pool is a 625,000 gallon (roughly 72' x 220') rectangular pool which ranges in depth from 2 feet 6 inches at the shallow end to 10 feet at the deep end. There is a zero depth entry ramp into the main pool. In addition, there is a wheelchair lift available into the shallow water. The pool has several water features including a diving board and slide.

NEW! The Hawthorne Municipal Pool in 2009 is offering a swim team camp for children through the age of 17 who are members of the pool. It will be held from 10:30 to 11:30 am, Monday through Thursday, from July 27th through August 13th. The camp will help young swimmers develop speed, endurance and proper racing technique, with the aim of starting an actual swim team based at the pool for summer, 2010. Interested children and their parents should contact pool staff during pool hours.

CUBS FOOD AT THE POOL. Beginning Friday, July 17, the Cubs Football Association will be taking orders at the pool from their regular food menu for delivery to patrons at the pool. Hours of operation are expected to be noon to 5 pm daily.
