May 2012 marked the Grand Opening of the newly renovated Burgess Pool. During the last 44 years, the site has had multiple renovations and upgrades and had finally exceeded its useful life. In 2011, the town staff voted to upgrade and enlarge the pool with more family-friendly attractions, and to meet current health codes and safety issues. The $1.6 million project expanded the pool’s capacity by 60 percent and is expected to add at least 40 years to its life.
