This Saturday, 29 November 2014, entry into the Crookwell Pool is FREE for all patrons from 11:00am to 6:00pm.
In conjunction with the Crookwell Lions Christmas Market, Council is offering free entry to the pool to everyone on the day.
The annual Christmas market is being held at a new location this year, within Coleman Park at the Crookwell Pool complex.
“The Crookwell Lions Christmas market is great opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done with over 30 stalls present this year, as well as supporting local businesses,” said Clr John Shaw, Mayor of Upper Lachlan Shire Council.
“After all that shopping, everyone can enjoy a leisurely dip at the pool for free.
It should be a good family day out in Crookwell, and I encourage everyone to make the most of it,” said Mayor Shaw.
The warm, hot days in recent weeks have seen many visitors flock to the local Shire pools, and with the temperatures forecasted to continue in the mid to high 30’s, pool attendants are expecting more visitors looking to cool off at the pool facilities.
“On these warmer days we have had recently, the water temperature has been hovering at a comfortable 24 degrees,” said Steve Croker, Council’s Pool Attendant at Crookwell Pool.
“With the increased hours of sun and the warmer weather, we are able to achieve higher water temperatures.
The blanket covers are placed on the pools every night which helps retain some warmth in the pools,” explained Mr Croker.
A visit to the pool is a fun, healthy activity for everyone to enjoy and the local pools are also very affordable. Normal admission
