#MyPhilllyPoolTour2024
JULY 3, 2024
This was the last pool I went to on my first touring day.
I was pretty pooped. And it was my first day on the project, so I didn’t have as much feedback from friends about what to look for, so I didn’t make many notes on the facilities beyond the pool itself.

A very nice playground pool with adjacent splash garden, modern playground and skate park. Plus it’s across the street from the awesome Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral, so what’s not to love?
They have crates for your personal effects inside the pool fence, and seem to be liberal about letting people wear flotation items, at least during camp session.
