TOWN POOL UPDATES

  • Department: Assessor

We have some policy updates for the upcoming 2023 summer!

We no longer designate “primary pool”; your membership allows you full access to all three town pools, and you may now bring guests to any of the pools. Each membership is allowed to bring unlimited guests (regardless of residency) on SEVEN OCCASIONS. Guests are no longer considered “out of town” or “local.” The guest fee remains a low cost of $5 per person, with children aged 3 and younger free.

As a reminder (not changed from previous years):

  • Extended family members can be added to a family membership. The extended family member MUST be living in the same household on a full-time basis.
  • Members are required to provide their town pool photo id for admission to the pool. We cannot make exceptions. Please be prepared to show ID to the gate attendant.
  • Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult (an adult is anyone aged 18 and older).
  • Approved flotation devices will be permitted only in the designated are of the main pool. The device must be attached to the child to aid in swimming. An adult must accompany and directly supervise the child. Rafts or tubes are not permitted in the pool.
  • Smoking, glass containers, alcohol, pets, bicycles, and unruly behavior are strictly prohibited.

Failure to adhere to the pool regulations, and the rules posted at the pools,
MAY RESULT IN REVOCATION OF MEMBERSHIP.

Veteran's Memorial Improvement Project

The town is pleased to announce that after an unsuccessful first bid process we were able to secure several competitive bids and have chosen a company to work with to complete this project.  The bid will be accepted by the Town Board at the next board meeting, and we will begin working with the contractor immediately. 

COMMON PLAYGROUND RENOVATION TO BE CONSIDERED BY TOWN BOARD

  • Department: Assessor

The Town Board is considering replacing the large playground on The Common.  The idea has been discussed publicly in recent years and the Town has received a significant amount of opinions regarding a new playground design.  In 2022, Supervisor Barrett announced the Town was notified of a $250,000 NYS grant that would be available for the project. 

The playground has offered a wonderful experience for countless children over the years.  Our goal is to further the legacy of this Town landmark.  The new plan under consideration would have the same look and feel as the current park with many of the same characteristics. 

A new structure would offer many benefits such as modern materials, the latest safety code standards, new and expanded number of fun elements for children to enjoy and the new playground will be designed to be accessible for all children.  The current structure is decades old and comprised of wood.  Our Town personnel do a great job as they spend a significant amount of time maintaining the structure to ensure the safest possible experience for families.  Each year brings new challenges with the condition of the structure. 

There are many new elements that are being considered in the proposal. The proposed design will be reviewed at the Town Board Meeting on April 3rd.  Renderings of the plan will be available for residents to view prior to the meeting beginning at 6pm.
