Pool re-opens! Children rejoice! Adults sweat!
Posted on | June 6, 2010 | Comments Off
That time is upon us, once again — the Glen Rock Municipal Pool (ironically not named after anyone, yet) is open for the season. While currently open only on weekends, once the schools let out, it will be open every day. Pass range from $40 for those under 5 to $110 for each adult. Mercifully, the cap per family is $335 for those of you with Duggar-like inclinations.
Pool season is a great way for all of us to mix and mingle and see each other in significantly less clothing than we do at the train station, bus stop and Kilroy’s. In addition, our kids can play together again without the artificial boundaries of their class rosters. Overall it’s a fun time for everyone involved. Not to mention that the pool itself is truly a fantastic facility.
Compared to Ridgewood and Fair Lawn’s sand-bottom “lakes,” the Glen Rock pool is clear, clean and beautiful. The facilities are relatively modern and water temp, surprisingly, is always comfortable. Finally, the physical separation of the kiddie pool leaves the unnaturally warm waters frequented by the under 5 set completely autonomous thus making the adult section of the pool, relatively free of anything that shouldn’t be in there.
Enjoy pool season and make sure your kids get those swim lessons.
