Are you looking to cool off this summer at the Peekskill pool in Depew Park (officially called the Veteran’s Memorial Pool) but don’t know where to start? We’ve got you.
Forget about digging through the City of Peekskill website looking for Parks and Rec PDF, just follow this helpful guide. We’ll have you swimming in the Peekskill pool in no time.
First, get a Peekskill Pool ID from the Parks and Recreation office in Depew Park
An ID card is required to get access to the Peekskill pool, but keep in mind, it’s not the pool permit itself. Starting May 1st you’re able to visit the Parks and Recreation office to purchase your ID card.
The Peekskill Parks and Recreation office is located in Depew Park at 1 Robin Drive. The summer (July-August) hours for the office are Monday-Friday 8:30am – 3:45pm.
Residents and Non-Residents can purchase ID cards.
Residents must show two proofs of residency:
- Drivers License
- Car Registration
- Household Bill (eg. telephone, cable, Con Ed)
The cost to purchase an ID card varies by age, and residency status.
Ages 0-4 | No ID |
Youth (Ages 5-17) | $16 |
Adults (18+) | $21 |
Veterans | $7.50 |
Non-Residents | $30 |
Replacement Card | $5 |
All ID card purchases include a free 1st entry to the Peekskill pool. If you need to renew your photo ID it’ll cost $8.50 for youth cards and $11 for adult cards.
Next, decide if you want to visit the Peekskill pool using a season pass or day pass
Do you see yourself at the Peekskill pool on the daily all summer long? You’re probably going to want to grab a season pass to save some money and allow for seamless access to the pool.
If you know you’re going to be using the pool sporadically, a day pass is probably the way to go.
Here’s how the pricing breaks down for season passes:
Resident Season Pass (Adult) | $103 |
Resident Season Pass (Youth) | $78 |
Resident Season Pass (Veteran) | $90 |
Non-Resident Season Pass (Adult) | $196 |

With daily passes, you pay a fee each time you visit. Here’s the pricing breakdown for day passes:
Resident Adult | $8 |
Resident Youth | $6 |

Can I bring guests to the Peekskill pool?
