Excuse the mess as we make progress on the bathhouse!

Renovations are now underway and are expected to take several weeks to a few months to complete.

During the renovation, the men’s and women’s sides have been temporarily switched. Please pay attention to posted signs and use caution when using the bathhouse.

As part of the project, POATRI is reviewing accessibility and taking steps to make the facility more accessible where feasible.

Thank you for your patience while this work continues.
