Abington To Address Aging Swimming Pools

ABINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — The township is conducting a swimming pool feasibility study on its aging pools and is seeking community input.

Two public meetings are scheduled, with the first set for Monday at the Hunter Soccer Clubhouse (Penbryn Pool). The second is on April 20 at the Crestmont Clubhouse.

Both meetings will take place from 6:30–8:30 p.m.

The township's pools — Penbryn and Crestmont, are several decades old and have reached their useful life, officials said.

On Feb. 12, the Abington Township Board of Commissioners approved Simone Collins to perform the feasibility study.

Officials said the study is expected to be completed in November.

The study will engage residents on the future of the pool systems while providing needed planning, site design and financial analysis.

The study will also align with the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCNR) Pool Feasibility Scope of Work to enable the Township to apply for DCNR grants for any construction efforts.
