In 1923, Dormont Borough decided to turn it into a concrete pool, spending $14,867. This project took several years and on July 4, 1929, the pool and the new bathhouse were dedicated. Fine sand was used along the edges making it resemble a beach.

The three-floored bathhouse serves several purposes. The pool's filtration system is located on the bottom floor, the main floor is divided into two main areas for the men and women and the top floor is a community room which is also rented to individuals.

The pool itself is about 1.85 acres or 60,000 square feet. It has survived the Great Depression, World War II, and never had a year in which it was closed. It was declared a Historic Landmark in 2002, and is one reason many people choose to live in this borough.

Several minor changes have occurred over the years but the look and feel of Dormont Pool has remained. It is still one of the largest public pools in Pennsylvania and enjoyed by residents of not only Dormont but surrounding communities and scores of people when they visit the area.
