August Board Meeting - Agenda

Adult-Only Swim

Description

 

You asked and we listened. Adults-Only Swim Night is happening! 

Join us on Wednesday, August 6 from 5:00-8:00 pm for a summer evening just for the grown-ups. Float the lazy river, race down the slides, swim a few laps, or just relax poolside with friends. However you like to enjoy the water, this night is for you.

Attendees must be 18 or older, and a photo ID will be required at the door. Regular admission rates apply. As always, no outside food or beverages are allowed in the pool and our concessions will be fully stocked with snacks and Pepsi drinks!

Island Park Pool will be adult-only, but our other pools will stay open to all ages, so Island Park season passholders are welcome to visit any other location that evening.

Grab your crew and make the most of it.
