FAQ | Beaver Pool House Civic Center

The newly renovated Beaver Borough Pool House is a multi-use event space that preserves its historic charm while providing a modern hub for community gatherings. It is a key part of the broader Shaw Park Project vision and serves as a vital anchor for the park. Learn more about the history of the pool house and explore old photos by visiting our History page.

Today, the space offers a beautiful indoor venue and an outdoor covered stage overlooking Shaw Park — perfect for events of all kinds.
