Hawes Pool Reopens in Norwood

Written by Greg Martin

At Move Forward Real Estate, we know that a great community is more than just beautiful homes. It’s the parks, the people, and the places that bring us together. That’s why we’re excited to share one of the biggest feel-good stories of the season: Hawes Pool is back and better than ever!

After a full-scale renovation, this local favorite is making a splash just in time for summer 2025. Whether you’re a long-time resident or new to the neighborhood, the reopening of Hawes Pool is a celebration of everything that makes Norwood a great place to live through connection, tradition, and fun in the sun.

A Norwood Tradition, Reimagined

Originally opened in 1949, Hawes Pool has been a summertime favorite for generations of Norwood families. But after years of wear and tear (and a notorious leak that lost over 10,000 gallons of water per day!), the town made the bold decision to give this beloved pool a full makeover and the results are nothing short of amazing.

Thanks to the hard work of the town, community leaders, and Kuth Ranieri Architects, the redesigned Hawes Pool is now more modern, more accessible, and more sustainable than ever.

What’s New at Hawes Pool?

Here’s a look at some of the fantastic upgrades you’ll find:

Brand-New Pool Shell: Fully rebuilt to be watertight, safe, and beautiful.
Modern Mechanical & Filtration Systems: Cleaner, more efficient, and easier to maintain.
ADA-Compliant Accessibility: Inclusive design with ramps, accessible entries, and pathways for all.
Upgraded Bathhouse & Splash Pad: More comfort, more fun for families and young kids.
Community-Centered Design: More shaded areas, better landscaping, and an inviting atmosphere for all ages.

Whether you’re swimming laps, enjoying a sunny afternoon with the kids, or just relaxing poolside, the new Hawes Pool offers something for everyone.

Why This Matters to Us

At Move Forward Real Estate, we believe thriving neighborhoods are built on connections, experiences, and shared spaces. Places like Hawes Pool are more than recreation, they’re where memories are made, friendships are formed, and summers come alive.

This renovation isn’t just about fixing a pool, it’s about investing in Norwood’s future. We’re proud to be part of a community that values inclusion, sustainability, and family-friendly fun.
