Moorestown Community House To Close Pool After 90 Years

MOORESTOWN, NJ — A Moorestown institution for the last 90 years is closing to the public at the end of the summer.

The pool at the Moorestown Community House will close forever on Aug. 31, the Moorestown Sun reports. The decision follows the YMCA’s decision to not renew its current contract for the pool, which it has managed for the last two years. The YMCA decided not to renew the contract because the pool cost too much money to maintain.

The pool opened in 1926 and costs about $47,000 a year to operate, according to the report. It has required multiple upgrades over the years, and the Moorestown Community House told the newspaper that without the help of the YMCA, it was no longer feasible to keep the pool open.
