Municipal Pool is a community facility, which is open from June through August. It meets the recreational swimming needs of west Rome. The arena and pool are served by a large parking lot off of Jay and Embargo Streets with space for more than 150 vehicles. There is also a smaller lot, primarily for employees and hockey officials on the west side of the arena with space for approximately 10 cars.
The Kennedy Arena renovation program (Phase I), which was completed in 2009, included renovations to the ice surface and refrigeration equipment as well as all of the facility’s major systems (heating, plumbing, electrical, etc.). The project also included the construction of four new locker rooms as well as new bleacher seating and extended the ice surface 15-feet to a standard dimension of 85 feet x 200 feet. The shell of the building remains relatively unchanged from its original construction in 1963.
The development of Municipal Pool included a standard-size recreational swimming pool; one slide; and a bathhouse with restrooms.
