Fair Lawn Opens Memorial Pool to Ridgewood Residents with Physical Disabilities

With work on a handicap ramp at Graydon Pool not expected to begin until at least the fall, Fair Lawn officials have opened up the borough's sand bottom pool to Ridgewood residents with physical disabilities this summer.

Mayor John Cosgrove emailed Ridgewood Mayor Paul Aronsohn Wednesday to inform him that Ridgewood residents with disabilities will still have the option to spend a day at a beach in Bergen County after Fair Lawn's council decided Tuesday to offer Villagers with special needs non-resident rates at Memorial Pool. 

"The Council discussed the fact that the accessible ramp at Ridgewood’s Graydon Pool has been delayed, and I am happy to report that there was unanimous consensus to allow disabled residents from Ridgewood and their families to use Memorial Pool this swim season," Cosgrove wrote in his letter to Aronsohn.

Non-resident family rates at Memorial Pool are $325; individual memberships are $160; senior memberships are $95; and daily rates per guest are $10 on weekdays and $20 on weekends.

Fair Lawn also offers non-resident pool rates to residents of Saddle Brook, Elmwood Park, Prospect Park and any out-of-towner who has been sponsored by a Fair Lawn family.

Memorial Pool opens this summer on June 27 at 10 a.m.
