Pools |
|
During the heat of the summer, County residents can cool off close to home at one of the two swimming facilities.
Both pools, the John Russell Wheeler Memorial Pool, in Linden, and the Walter E. Ulrich Memorial Pool, in Rahway, are open to the public on a daily basis beginning in mid-June. Wheeler Pool is open until the middle of August, and the Ulrich Pool remains open until Labor Day. A daily admission fee is charged to enter either pool; no membership is necessary. |
