#MyPhillyPoolTour2024
JULY 14
When I lived in West during the 80s this was my main destination once I discovered its’ existence! I would use Kingsessing if I was simply two tired to venture west, but I frequented this specific pool many times up into Y2K.
The pool might not be quite as large as Kelly Pool or Hunting Park Pool but it is quite secluded from the major highways at its closest intersection nestled behind a large building and shaded by the multiple trees in the park.
I drug my two West Philly pool buddies with me today and they humored me by stopping here while I explored the emptiness of the pool and the large reconstruction project in process at the site of the pool.

Very sad that this sizable pool in West Philly is closed for the season (and possibly beyond rumor has it)? Would love to know more.
This part of the park does not look the same without the majesty of the stables and the oasis of the pool down below.
