Stay Cool This Summer!
The Pool at Delano Hitch is unfortunately closed as we work on designing and building a new Aquatics Center. Newburgh still offers many ways to stay cool!
The Mist Stick at Audrey Carey Park is operational!
Stop by the park on Liberty Street and Farrington Street. Sprinkler hours are from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Pop-Up Summer Fun Days Continue!
Beginning on June 27, 2022, and throughout the month of July until Friday, August 5, 2022, the City’s Recreation staff will offer the Summer Fun Days to youth of all ages. The program features a water slide at various City parks and free breakfast/lunch. Children must be accompanied by parents; the program is not a drop-off center.

Please remember it is illegal to open a Fire Hydrant without proper training and equipment. Opening fire hydrants can lower water pressure so firefighters don’t have enough water to put out a fire, potentially putting lives at risk. Children can also be at serious risk because the powerful force of an open hydrant without a sprinkler or spray cap can knock a child down, causing serious injury. The reduction of water pressure resulting from illegally opened hydrants can also cause problems at hospitals and other medical facilities.
A series of open hydrants can cause brown water for residents. When several hydrants are opened at once, the increased speed of the water in the water main can pick up minerals and other sediments that normally settle to the bottom of the pipe. Those sediments end up in toilet bowls and coming out of faucets in area homes and businesses.
