Dormont Pool Set to Open Saturday, May 23

With the warm weather expected in the coming days, it’s a good thing that the Dormont Pool is set to open just a week from today. That’s right, the 2026 season kicks off on May 23 - and it looks like the temperatures on opening day could be in the 70s!

There’s still time to purchase your individual or family pool pass. But make your plans today! Visit the borough website for more information, and a list of our sponsors: https://boro.dormont.pa.us/dormont-pool-season-passes/.

Congratulations to Robin E., the winner of the Dormont Bird Week prize bag generously donated by Kathmandu Threads! 🐦🎉

A huge thank you to Kathmandu Threads for supporting Bird Week and our community with this wonderful donation. We also want to thank everyone who participated in the week’s events and activities — your enthusiasm made our first ever Bird Week a huge success.

And of course, thank you to the Bird Town Committee for all of their hard work organizing an amazing week celebrating birds, nature, and community! 💚

Pennsylvania American Water advised us this morning that Park Boulevard, Greenmount, and a section of Raleigh will be closed today to replace valves. The crew will have flaggers in place to direct traffic and intend to begin work after school traffic has died down.

Please remain alert in the area.

Pittsburgh Regional Transit will host a virtual public meeting later this month to share updates and gather feedback on planned improvements to Dormont Junction stations.

The meeting will be held on Thursday, May 28 at 7 p.m.

At Dormont Junction, the project will focus on improving pedestrian access and circulation around the station, while also upgrading platforms, canopies, visibility, and overall accessibility to create a safer, more comfortable environment for riders. PRT and the Borough of Dormont are also undertaking a separate effort to look at potential transit-oriented development (TOD) on the Dormont Park and Ride site; note that this is separate from the Station Improvement Project and will not be a core focus of this meeting.

For more information on that project and to sign up for the public meeting, please visit engage.rideprt.org/dormont.
