Gingerwood Pool Opening Delayed

The rain might be doing the flowers some good, but it's also slowed down the maintenance work on Gingerwood Pool.

Rainy, cool weather has set back a fresh paint job on the pool, which was. Werr will notify Patch when the re-scheduled pool's opening date is set.

The prices will be $100 for a single member, and $160 for a family of five. President Gail Werr told Patch in April that she hoped to open the pool at 5130 Aldersyde Road over Memorial Day weekend.

The pool had previously been closed due to lack of funds and leadership, Werr said, but dedicated supporters have raised funds and are renting the property from the city, to keep the pool up and running. While the pool had previously been open mainly to Gingerwood subdivision residents, it's now open to residents citywide. Werr said that roughly 40 percent of the pool's members come from outside Gingerwood. 

Last year, 45 families were registered with the pool—a number matched during this year's early registration period.
