Pool Project is a Go!

The Village Board took the next step toward construction of the new pool complex with an indoor/outdoor natatorium, three outdoor pools, locker rooms and more at their meeting on Tuesday March 10,2026.

SQRA Review of Pool Project

A full SQRA review of the project was conducted to consider all potential environmental impacts, including soils, migratory birds, eagles, bats, butterflies, endangered species and even the potential effects to the neighboring Boulder Brook Stables.

The resolution defines the full scope of the project, including the “redevelopment of the Project by demolishing an existing seasonal bathhouse, pool filtration building and other site elements to accommodate new structures, including a 20,297 square foot natatorium building, a 12,639 square foot year-round bathhouse to support the natatorium, a 10,300 square foot outdoor diving pool, a 3,700 square foot leisure pool, an outdoor children’s area with two pools (3,700 square feet and 1,600 square feet) and a 1,600 square foot splash pad, a 5,554 square foot seasonal bathhouse to support the outdoor pools and summer camp, a new playground and sport court area, and a seasonal mechanical building for outdoor pool filtration equipment.”

The study found that the project would have no negative environmental impacts, and as lead agency, the Village Board adopted a Negative Declaration

Bonds

The Board then authorized resolutions for a series of bond to underwrite the project including

-$48,033,634 for the natatorium

-$10,655,007 for ancillary buildings including the seasonal bathhouse, concession stands, mechanical building and utility building

-$5,672,808 for the cost of the construction of various outdoor pools as part of the municipal pool complex, including a leisure pool, children’s pool and wading pool.

-$9,638,551 for construction of a playground, volleyball court, multisport court and spray pad, landscaping improvements.

Audit

Prior to the Village Board meeting, auditors from PKF O’Connor Davies reported on their audit of Village finances and gave Scarsdale a stellar review.

Their report found that “The Village remains in a strong financial position with sound governance, effective controls and prudent fiscal management.”

Auditors reported, “We have found no material weaknesses or deficiencies and no fraud or illegal acts during the audit” … and “the Village has demonstrated “continued strong financial oversight and internal controls and that the Village has been awarded a Certificate of Achievement in Financial Reporting, which should be a positive signal to residents, bondholders and rating agencies."
