2027 Recreation Calendar
The borough's big kids event is March 28 at 11 a.m., with a sensory-friendly hunt at 10:30. Football players and firefighters are volunteering, and this year prizes will be raffled at 11:30 so winners are announced on site instead of matched later from sign-in sheets.
Next Generation Playground Phase 1 construction
The big playground rebuild at Dormont Park is moving on two fronts: a construction RFP for Phase 1 that isn't finished yet, and a $168,553 pavilion purchase for Phase 2 through a state grant that requires work within a year. Council wants the full RFP in hand before advertising it.
Pride Event Participation and Porchmont Launch
The borough's porch-crawl event is five weeks out, with 26 porches signed up and more expected. Decisions on t-shirts, host bags, signage, and the map deadline will shape how visible and successful the event is.
Dormont Pool filtration system failure
Manager Stinner reported the pool passed its county health inspection despite the flooded filter room, with valve replacements still needed and long-term filtration replacement being studied.
Pool filtration system future
The pool's filtration system runs on an eight-hour cycle when modern codes require four to six hours. New valves could buy five to ten years, but pumps are obsolete — a feasibility study and financing plan come next year.
