Norristown's Carver Center Pool To Reopen, Celebrate 55th Anniversary

The George Washington Carver Community Center, a historic and cultural pillar of Norristown, will reopen on Saturday, June 20.

The center, along with the popular pool, was shut down during the summer of 2014 after a damaging winter and a lack of funds.

But an anonymous donor, working with State Sen. Daylin Leach, contributed over $70,000 to help restore the pool.

A free celebration commemorating the reopening of the pool and the center’s 55th anniversary will take place at the pool beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

BBQ, swimming, and a live DJ will be on hand until 1 p.m.
