Northampton announces borough pool opening, July 3 celebration
Summary
Council members announced the borough pool opens Saturday, June 6 (noon–7 p.m.) with passes sold at the Recreation Center, and promoted a July 3 Municipal Park celebration for the 250th anniversary; public-works staff and volunteers were thanked for preparations.
The Northampton Borough Council announced that the borough pool will open for the season on Saturday, June 6 at noon and will operate daily from noon to 7 p.m., with pool passes available at the Northampton Borough Recreation Center.
Holderman, who delivered the building/land report, said, "The borough pool will open for the season on Saturday, June 6 at noon. The pool will be open daily from noon to 7PM. Pool passes are only available for purchase at the Northampton Borough Recreation Center." Holderman also encouraged residents to attend a July 3 event in Municipal Park to mark the United States' 250th anniversary, describing activities and food for all ages.
Council members repeatedly thanked public-works staff and volunteers for getting the pool ready, including private partners named in the transcript. The mayor and other councilors highlighted community involvement in recent events — including a mayor's bike run and school-choir performances tied to America 250 — and encouraged residents to watch for children on roads now that school is out.
Why it matters: The pool opening is a seasonal service relied on by residents for recreation and public-safety programming; the July 3 event is a large community celebration that will draw people across the Lehigh Valley.
Speakers quoted or referenced: Holderman (pool announcement), council members and the mayor offering supporting remarks.
