A Pittsburgh-area pool will remain closed for the second year in a row as borough officials said repairs and updates can continue following a battle of funding. VIDEO ABOVE: Baldwin Borough announces closure of public swimming pool amid repairs; reopening slated for 2026Initial plans called for major repairs and upgrades to Baldwin Borough’s 52-year-old swimming pool last year. However, finding a bid within the budget became difficult until recently, so repairs will continue throughout the year, with a scheduled opening in 2026. Repairs include a new pump, pipes, heater, and cosmetic pool and deck surface upgrades.”The patches are the work the public work crews have done over the years to address the sprawling you can see, the popping of the concrete when it pops up,” Baldwin Borough Manager Bob Firek said. “You see the loose parts, they come in and they jackhammer that every year. They’ve been doing that for the last eight years I’ve been here.” Baldwin residents will have access to the neighboring Brentwood swimming pool during the summer as repairs continue.
