Today, Mayor Robert Sullivan, Chief of Staff Sydné Marrow, and Superintendent of Parks Timothy Carpenter hosted the Cosgrove family, members of the community, and elected officials at the Cosgrove Memorial Pool for a ceremonial unveiling of the new plaque honoring Lawrence R. Cosgrove for whom the pool is named. Mr. Cosgrove is the first Brockton resident who made the ultimate sacrifice in World War II.

The Cosgrove Pool, scheduled to open soon for the 2025 season, underwent a federally-funded $6 million renovation and re-opened in 2024. The funding came from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) and President Joseph Biden’s Omnibus Bill of 2023.

Elected officials in attendance were MA State Senator Michael Brady and State Representatives Michelle DuBois, Rita Mendes, and Bridget Plouffe. The City sincerely thanks the entire Cosgrove family and all of those who braved today’s heat and attended this important community ceremony.
