Ventilation systems for pools in Boston, Massachusetts

Draper Pool, located at 5275 Washington Street in Boston, Massachusetts, is currently closed for a construction project. The project includes the replacement of the boiler, installation of a new ventilation system, and replacement of the pool filtration system. Unfortunately, during the construction process, it was discovered that the pool shell is disintegrating, necessitating its replacement. This additional project has caused delays, but we will update with reopening information as soon as possible. In the meantime, BCYF Draper swimmers are welcome at any other BCYF pool.

While the Freedom Trail highlights the city’s revolutionary past, The Innovation Trail focuses on the remarkable advancements that followed America's independence and the establishment of early schools like Boston Latin (1635) and Harvard (1636). Boston’s legacy of innovation was built on a foundation of independence and education, bolstered by societal changes such as the abolition of slavery, women’s suffrage, waves of immigration, and marriage equality. These factors allowed a diverse group of people to collaborate on research and company formation, funded by investors, universities, and government agencies. This thriving innovation ecosystem has significantly contributed to shaping our modern world.Who Should Visit:
