Many NW Bergen County town pools have options for residents and non-residents alike. However, PLEASE check with each location first. Although most pools have reopened, there may be added changes to membership at this time.
Some great options are:
Crestwood Lake (West Crescent Avenue, Allendale)
Crestwood Lake has a clean, quaint beach for residents and for non-residents of the following towns: Saddle River, Upper Saddle River and Ho- Ho Kus. Anyone outside of these NW Bergen Towns would have to be a guest of an Allendale resident. They have a small playground, a big basketball court and a covered, camp-like, shaded area for family get-togethers and picnics. There is a beautiful walking trail with landmarks and plaques offering information on the history of the area as well as memorials to those from the town, who were involved in 9/11.

Graydon Pool (259 N. Maple Ave, Ridgewood)
You’ll want to join Graydon Pool, a natural pool formed when Ridgewood residents dammed the nearby Ho-Ho-Kus Brook decades ago. It’s surrounded by sand. Kids also love the zero-entry shallow area with sprinklers. Older kids love jumping off the floating rafts and the diving boards. There’s a swim team and swim lessons for all ages, and members enjoy yoga on the beach as well. (Graydon Pool, 201-670-3376, adult memberships start at $120/resident and $200/non-resident)

They offer a large heated main pool and a smaller kiddie pool with a shower spray, plus a sand volleyball court and a playground. Lounge chairs with umbrellas are spread throughout the grass surrounding the pool, and the Poolside Café is open. The club offers a Tennis Camp and a general camp for the kids. (Saddle River Valley Swim and Tennis Club, 845-356-9010, Family rate is $975)
Waldwick Municipal Pool (105 W. Prospect St.)
Waldwick pool has a big slide that kids love, while parents love the fact that there’s a shaded picnic area. Swimming lessons are offered for all ages, and they also offer sing a longs and arts n crafts. (Waldwick Municipal Pool, 201-652-5177, Rates starting at $55/resident and $150/non-resident)
