#MyPhillyPoolTour2024
JULY 14, 2023
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 too tired to venture west, but I frequented this pool many times up until Y2K.
The pool is not quite as large as Kelly or Hunting Park Pool, but it is quite secluded from the major streets nearby, nestled behind a large building and shaded by park trees.
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.
