Summer Fun at the Walhalla Pool

Enjoy summer fun at the Walhalla Pool and Splash Pad. The Foothills Area YMCA operates the municipal pool and offers low prices for families, tells CEO Christle Ross. “It is absolutely a fun place to be. The splash pad has really enhanced the experience at the water park because it gives younger children something to do and you don’t have to worry about that three foot depth. The young kids are able to run around and splash and play and just have a great time while they are there. You can come on a daily fee if you want or you can buy a membership to the pool. So, if you wanted to just visit for the day it is $4 a person, which gives you unlimited swimming during the open swim times. We have tons of activities going on there; water exercise classes, swim lessons, swim team, lap swimming times and rentals. Pool memberships for those that are going to come several times during the summer and the way to go. Then we have added this summer late night swimming on Tuesdays. That was something in the past that we have had requests because a lot of people say they don’t get off work until later so I don’t get to swim during the day and I would like a time. So, we have added Tuesday nights just to see if that is truly popular and then we will look at adding more times next summer if that is a hit.” To learn more about the Walhalla Pool and Splash Pad, visit www.foothillsymca.net/aquatics.
