The Town of Oyster Bay operates five pool facilities, including Bethpage Community Park, Marjorie Post Community Park, Plainview-Old Bethpage Community Park, Syosset-Woodbury Community Park, and a saltwater pool at Tappen Beach in Glenwood Landing.

“The warm, sunny days of summer are nearly upon us and all residents may start visiting our pools daily,” Supervisor Saladino said. “Town Pool memberships offer families and senior citizens access to many great amenities, including upgrad- ed restrooms, pool deck furniture, picnic benches and sunshades.”

Pool hours from Saturday, June 24, through Labor Day, Monday, September 4, will be 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, weather permitting. Additionally, extended hours until 8 p.m., will be offered as follows (weather permitting) at the following locations on the following schedule:

Pool memberships can be obtained at each park location. Memberships are available at community park pools for both park district residents and non-park district residents. Daily admission rates, nanny memberships and group access are also available. In addition to the great new amenities at our facilities, the Town is offering swimming lessons at local pools to residents age five and older. Applications to register for swimming lessons are available on line at oysterbaytown.com/portal, with four swim lesson sessions available to choose from.

The Town will also offer a swim team this summer at outdoor pools located in Syosset-Woodbury Community Park and Marjorie R. Post Community Park in Massapequa.
