Release: North Woodmere Park Pool to Open Monday

This release was sent to Patch by Nassau County.

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano announced last week that four of the County’s outdoor Nassau County swimming pool complexes, including the one at North Woodmere Park, will open on Monday, June 27.

“As Nassau County residents plan their summer family time and consider more ‘stay-cations,’ our outdoor pool facilities provide a wonderful opportunity for recreation, as well as a great centerpiece around which to build an entire day’s activities,” Mangano said.

The county’s pool complexes include three comprehensive “water theme” facilities at Cantiague Park in Hicksville (571-7056), North Woodmere Park (571-7800) and Wantagh Park (571-7460). The water theme parks incorporate Olympic-size swimming pools, diving pools, “kiddie” pools, interactive water-play areas and water slides.

The pool at Wantagh Park, which features a beautiful waterfront location, has been named “Best Public Pool on Long Island” by the Long Island Press, the weekly newspaper.

The large swimming complex at Christopher Morley Park (571-8113) in Roslyn-North Hills includes an Olympic-size pool, diving tank with boards, and a kiddie pool, framed by a beautiful wooded preserve. At Nickerson Beach Park (571-7700) in Lido, a 121-acre oceanfront park, there are two small pools as well as kiddie pools.

The pools at Cantiague, Christopher Morley, North Woodmere and Wantagh Parks  – which will be open from 10 a.m to 6 p.m. daily – also offer swimming lessons for adults and children.

Admission is available on a daily basis at all pools or on a seasonal basis, with fees ranging by age and status as a Leisure Pass holder (available only to Nassau County residents).
