#MyPhillyPoolTour2024
JULY 4, 2024
My companions today are my buddy Bryn Milligan and her nephew Chase. When we got to this pool we though it would be fun to shoot Chase with his toy fox because it is Fox Chase Pool. Sadly it is very hard to shoot photos of anything in the bright sun on a cellphone, so it is nearly impossible to tell what Chase is playing with a toy fox. Oh well.

July 4, 2024 was my first ever visit to Fox Chase Recreation Center and Pool. I really liked this pool. It’s behind a building and therefore somewhat private from the street. Depth maxes out at about five feet. You’re allowed to bring your bags inside and keep them by the fence. There are plenty of shady spots outside the pool gate for picnicking, and a nice spray garden too. There is a wheelchair lift, but there was uncertainty about its functionality, so if you need to use this, make sure to call ahead.
