The Judd Nordyke Municipal Pool opened in 2012 as the result of many years of dedication, collaboration, and community support. The project was made possible through the combined efforts of local residents, students, community leaders, Doña Ana County, and the New Mexico State Legislature, all working together toward the shared goal of providing a safe and welcoming recreational space for Hatch families.

Former Mayor Judd L. Nordyke, a longtime resident of Hatch from 1970 until his passing in 2012, was one of the many advocates for this vision. Known for his love of the outdoors and water activities, Judd believed strongly in the importance of water safety and positive recreational opportunities for youth. He often spoke about the need for a public swimming pool as a way to teach children to swim, keep them engaged during the summer months, and help reduce the risks associated with swimming in irrigation ditches and the Rio Grande River.

The pool proudly bears his name in recognition of his service and commitment to the community, while also honoring the countless individuals whose hard work and support helped bring the project to life.
