Background on the Weehawken Pool
Weehawken’s municipal swimming pool (aka the Weehawken Township Pool Complex) opened in the summer of 2021. The $10.5 million complex has views of the NYC skyline, a water slide, a lap pool, splash pads, and more. The pool formerly only permitted Weehawken residents to become pool members, but after various efforts from surrounding towns without public pools, the conversation escalated and the state got involved.

The pool had been built using some state funding provided by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Green Acres Program, and back in June, the DEP claimed it wasn’t right for Weehawken to restrict membership after having used state funding. The DEP even withheld $4 million in Green Acres funds for ongoing projects at the Waterfront Park until Weehawken opened its membership to non-residents, per TapInto. It wasn't until August of 2022 that the pool would officially start permitting out-of-town residents to use the outdoor pool. Now, the Weehawken Pool is open to all New Jersey residents.
