Wickwire Pool is a staple of the Cortland Youth Bureaus legacy. Recently, the pool area was renovated using universal design principles which greatly enhance the usability of the facility. Please see photos for a visual reference of the new pool features. The CYB has plans to renovate the locker rooms and bath houses of Wickwire Pool to further increase usability at this site. The main entrance of the facility has 4 stairs.
